What is recorded here
Fairy fort in Larkfield: a 24-metre grass platform on the Bonet River slope, its shallow stone edge half-swallowed by hedge and earth. The entrance has vanished, yet the circle remains clear enough to walk inside and imagine the doors that once cut through it.
Located towards the bottom of the NW-facing slope of Tullyskeherny and on the E side of the Bonet River valley. Grass-covered circular platform (diam. 24m E-W; 22.2m N-S) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 2m; H 0.6m) incorporated in a hedge N-E, which is reduced to a stony scarp (H 0.35m) elsewhere. 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.
