What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Toome stands at the south end of a north-south drumlin ridge in County Leitrim, Ireland. Its overgrown oval measures thirty-one point two metres north-north-east to south-south-west and about twenty-three metres west-north-west to east-south-east. An earthen bank four to five metres wide across its base rises point two to point four metres inside and one point five metres outside. A ditch two point three to three metres wide and one to one point four metres deep surrounds it, though an old field bank has filled the eastern part. The blocked south-east entrance is two point two metres wide, and a four-and-a-half-metre causeway may be modern.

Located at the S end of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is an overgrown oval area (int. dims 31.2m NNE-SSW; c. 23m WNW-ESE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 4-5m; int. H 0.2-0.4m; ext. H 1.5m) and an external fosse (Wth of base 2.3-3m; ext. D 1-1.4m) which has been backfilled with an old field bank at E. The entrance (Wth of base 2.2m), now blocked, and a causeway (Wth 4.5m), which may be modern, are at SE.
