What is recorded here

Mortons and others walked past Lisnanorrus without knowing the flat D-shaped top was a rath. They thought the field belonged to everyone because no wall stood in the way. The forgotten fort hid inside the shape of the land, waiting for someone to stop treating the exception as a mistake.

Located on top of a drumlin in a coniferous forest. This is a D-shaped platform (dims 21m E-W; 18m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.2-0.6m) but curtailed by field banks at S and W. There is no evidence of a bank, fosse or entrance, but it is probably a rath. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
