What is recorded here

Half-hidden beneath the river valley grass, the ringfort holds a narrow circle of earth and stone, its entrance erased by time. People may have lived inside that small drumlin before memory faded, shaping the bank with hands and hauling stone from the valley floor. The fairies never showed themselves, but the fort keeps their name, waiting for someone patient enough to listen for the shape of what is missing.

Located on a small drumlin on the floor of the Bonet River valley. Grass-covered subcircular area (int. dims 24.5m N-S; 22m E-W) defined by a steep-sided, round-topped bank of earth and stone (at S: Wth 3.1m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.15m), reduced to a scarp (H 0.5m) at E and W. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. 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
