What is recorded here

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Moneenshinnagh is a grass-covered circular area, thirty-three metres across, on the north-facing slope of a low ridge in County Leitrim. Its remains hold a broad wall, four to five metres wide but only twenty centimetres high, with traces of facing-stones. A man-made underground passage site lies inside the circle. The place may have been a dwelling, a boundary marker or a forgotten ritual site, yet life could still have moved through it when the wall was new.
