What is recorded here

Fairy forts are cashels, not fantasy. This is a stone ringfort on a hillock in County Leitrim, Ireland, with a grass-covered interior and a low stone-covered scarp. Its entrance has vanished under grass and age. People may have lived here, feared here, or simply passed by. The stones remain.

Situated on top of a hillock. This is a grass-covered subcircular area (int. dims 20m N S; 17m E- W) defined by a stone-covered scarp (H 0.4m at NNE to 1.5m at S). There are no visible facing-stones and the original entrance cannot be 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. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
