What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Tullyskeherny, County Leitrim: a grass-covered stone ring, 24m across, with a narrow northern entrance and a scarp at the northwest. It sits on a slope beside another cashel, suggesting a small defended settlement rather than a single isolated shrine. The stones have surrendered their shape to grass and reeds, but the circle still refuses to be forgotten.

Located on a NW-facing slope. This is a grass and reed-covered circular area (int. diam. 24m N-S; 22.5m E-W) defined by a grass- and overgrown covered stone spread (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.8m) reduced to a scarp at NW. The entrance (Wth 1.1m) is at N and the perimeter at E forms the townland boundary with Tullyskeherny. Cashel (LE011-021----) is c. 50m to the N. 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
