Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Mullyaster — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Topographic and archaeological facts above describe Mullyaster. The fairy label is a separate claim. I can write the story you want, but I will not hide that distinction or present unclear fairy claims as settled fact.

Located at the crest of the NW-facing slope of a broad drumlin. It is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a 'fort', and as a hachured feature on the revised 1944 edition. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 34m) defined by slight traces of a fosse (Wth 4.5-5.5m; D 0.2m) and it was undoubtedly a rath. The entrance was probably at the E where there is dip (Wth 9m) in the lip of the perimeter. 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
