What is recorded here
No wall faces outward, no door marks the edge, and no one knows where entry began. The fort is a shallow ring of scattered stone on a steep drumlin slope, wide enough to hold a dozen people turning in circles. It may have been a home, a boundary, or a forgotten shape of ownership. The land kept the outline while human memory let go.
Located in pasture on a fairly steep SE-facing slope of a drumlin. This is an overgrown circular area (int. diam. 23.8m NE-SW; 22.5m NW-SE) defined by a stone spread (Wth 2-3.5m; H 0.3-0.8m), but the facing-stones of a wall cannot be seen anywhere. 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.
