What is recorded here

Indicated is a ruined stone ring on a low Leitrim knoll, still marking the boundary between human ownership and fairy temptation. Its collapsed wall stands barely higher than a person’s knee, yet the circle remains clear enough to trap a horse or a careless visitor. The fort has been reduced to a haggard, but that reduction does not diminish it; it waits for the boundary to be forgotten.

Situated on a low knoll. This is a circular area (int. diam. 29.3m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone-built wall, best preserved at S (Wth including collapse 3m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.4m), but no facing-stones are visible. The monument is used as a haggard with a modern entrance (Wth 2.5m) at S, although there is another gap (Wth 1.5m), which is probably not original, 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
