What is recorded here

Thur Mountain and a nameless hill clamp a hidden saddle where a twenty-five-metre fort vanished into pasture. Humans may have built, broken or buried it, while fairies took the remainder for their own dark game.

Depicted a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘Fort’ and as an area with quarries to the S and W on the 1910 ed. It is situated in a little saddle between a hill c. 400m to the NW and the N flank of Thur Mountain to the S. No feature is visible at ground level in pasture. 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/revision: 12 December 2011
