What is recorded here

Marked only on the 1910 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as an oblong wood (dims c. 45m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) it is known locally as a fort and is located on a S-facing slope on the floor of the Glenfarne valley. This is a grass-covered oval or D-shaped area (int. dims 52m NE-SW; 33m NW-SE) with tree-stumps in the interior defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.5m) and outer fosse or drain (Wth 1.4m; D 0.25m). An 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. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
