What is recorded here
No visible entrance remains on the grassy drumlin crest, though a shallow ditch and low bank still mark the circular boundary. The fort is small enough to walk across in a minute, yet its hidden doorway suggests human life moved through solid earth rather than obvious gaps.
Located at the crest of the SW-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 23.5m) defined by a slight but overgrown earthen bank (Wth 1.6m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.9m) with an external fosse (Wth of base 1.5m; D 0.1m). The original entrance is not identified.
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.
