What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Drumcashel, County Leitrim, is a grass-covered circular platform 21m wide, defined by a stone wall reduced to a scarp 0.7-1m high. The original entrance is not identified, though a field wall bisects it and a quarry marks the SE quadrant. It stands on a low rise in Glenade valley, small enough to walk around in minutes yet old enough to have outlasted every boundary drawn across it since.
