What is recorded here

Magic is not required to explain the fort, but the name still belongs to the people who first walked past it and refused to call it ordinary. The fort is a ring of earth and exclusion: a circular space set apart from the field, with a boundary, a gap for entry and a margin for keeping out what should not enter. That is what magic does anywhere. It draws a line around the world and dares you to cross it.

Located towards the top of the S-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass and scrub-covered circular area (diam. 32m NNE-SSW: 32m NNW-SSE) defined by a scrub-covered earthen bank (Wth 5-6m; int. H 0.2-0.3m; ext. H 0.5-1m) and external fosse (Wth of base 2.5-3.5m; ext. D c. 0.2-0.4m). There is an entrance (Wth 2m) at WSW and the monument is bisected by a NE-SW field bank and drain. 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
