Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Killarcan

Situated on top of rock outcrop. This is an overgrown subcircular area (dims c. 35m E-W; c. 30m N-S) defined by the remains of a revetted wall with intermittently visible inner and outer facing-stones (Wth 2.3m; max. H 0.95m at S). The wall is largely obscured by field spoil S-N. The entrance (Wth 1.55m), flanked by slabs, is at S. 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
