What is recorded here

Indicated is a low-lying fairy fort in County Leitrim, Ireland, where a triangular earthen bank still breaks through reclaimed pasture. It appeared on the 1835 map as a gothic-labelled fort and on the 1911 map as a twenty-three-metre bank, but only a small overgrown triangle remains now. The land has been taken back by grass and forgotten shape, yet the fort keeps its angle against the field.

Situated in a low-lying position in an undulating reclaimed pasture. It is depicted as a triangular field (dims c. 20m x c. 20m) described as a 'fort' in gothic lettering on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a length of earthen bank (C c. 23m N-S) on the 1911 edition. A small overgrown triangular area (dims c. 25m E-W; c. 10m E-W) survives and may be the E remnant of a ringfort. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 11 April, 2017
