What is recorded here

Mortons and others lived beside the fort for centuries, perhaps inside it, until the stones vanished under grass and memory. The earth still holds a round shadow on the drumlin slope, waiting for someone to walk its hidden entrance and remember what the forgootten hand built.

Located on the S-facing slope of a drumlin on the N side of the E-W Glenfarne valley at its W end. This is an overgrown circular area (diam. c. 26m) defined by a steep-sided, round-topped earthen bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H. 0.4m; ext. H 1.1m) and an intermittently visible fosse or ditch (Wth of base 1m; D 0.2m). The original entrance is not identified. Rath (LE007-070----) is c. 60m to the NE. 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
