Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tawly

On a rise which is known locally as 'Fort Hill'. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 24m N-S; 23m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.3m at N to 1m at E), with slight traces of a bank (int. H 0.1m) at E. There is no visible fosse, but the entrance may be the slight dip (Wth 4m) in the perimeter at NNE. 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
