What is recorded here
Fairy forts hide from human eyes but resist every camera lens. This is a stone ring in County Leitrim, built with a hidden door that appears only when someone stops forcing it open. The chamber waits for patience, not permission.
Situated about half way down the W-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass-covered subcircular area (int. dims 24.5m NE-SW; c. 20m NW-SE) defined by an overgrown stone wall (Wth 1.2-4m; H 0.4-1m) which has generally collapsed inwards. The original entrance 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.
