What is recorded here

Fort, a 50m circular enclosure, stands on the Shannon bank in Leitrim, now housing a waterworks. Its earthen bank, once 3m wide and 0.8m high, still curves along the north-east, a quiet reminder that human hands shaped this place before pipes and tanks took over.

On the bank of the River Shannon. Indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map where it is named 'Fort'; it is represented as a circular enclosure on the latest edition of the OS 6-inch map. Described as the remains of an earthen bank (Wth c. 3m; H c. 0.8m) surviving NW-E (C c. 30m) (OSFM), the site is now occupied by a waterworks. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003).
