What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not for the living. This one sits at the foot of Sheemore Hill, a shallow grassy circle marked by a low stone spread and a field wall that cuts through its northern edge. People may have lived there before becoming a warning, but the shape still belongs to the fairies. Keep your distance and do not throw stones into it.

Located at the N-facing foot of Sheemore Hill. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 32.5m E-W) defined by a scarp W-NE while two sections of a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.2m) survive at E and SW. It is truncated by a NW-SE field wall at N and disturbed by farm outbuildings at NW. 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
