What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Sracreeghan: a grass-covered ring, 28 metres wide, set on a steep slope in Glencar valley with a narrow fosse around most of it. The entrance has vanished under grass and memory. People may have lived there before forgetting the door, or the door may have closed itself when they left. Either way, the ring remains sharp enough to show it was made, not dropped from the sky.

Located towards the bottom of a steep N-facing slope in Glencar valley. Grass-covered circular platform with some scrub (diam. 28m E-W; 27m N-S; H 1m at W to 1.9m at SE) surrounded by a well-defined fosse (Wth 3.1m; D 0.6m) E-S-W (upslope). There are lazy beds in the interior but 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. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
