What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not for entry. They belong to the unseen, and they take what they want. The fort in Sranacrannaghy is no exception. It sits complete on its drumlin, waiting for the kind of person stupid enough to walk inside. Most people drive past. That is why most people are still alive to tell the story.

Located on top of a broad drumlin. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 22.7m N-S; 21.9m E-W), which remains unplanted in a coniferous forest, defined by a slight earthen bank (Wth 2.5-4m; int. H 0.2m generally to 1.2m NE-E; ext. H 0.2-0.8m) W-N-E, which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.2-0.8m) elsewhere. The remains of a stone wall (Wth 2m) are on the perimeter at S. The monument is bisected by an E-W roadway, and 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
