What is recorded here

Mortons and Eamon, the children of the fairies, played tag through the stones while human watchers stood frozen at the edge. The fort belonged to neither kingdom, a border place where young gods learned fear and humans learned wonder. It still holds that lesson, waiting for someone young enough to remember it.

Situated in a low-lying position with a NE-SW stream c. 15m to the NW. Overgrown subcircular area (int. dims 21m N-S; 19.5m E-W) defined by the remains of a wall (Wth 2.8m; H 0.35m), surmounted by a field wall E-S-W. A rectangular drystone-built structure (dims 2.3m x 2.9m) is built against the inner face of the wall at S, but the original entrance to the enclosure 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
