What is recorded here

Situated on top of a drumlin. This is an overgrown circular area (diam. 37m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 1m), and a slight external fosse or drain (Wth 1m; D 0.2m) at SE. The entrance (Wth 3-4m) at SW is probably modern. 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
Lisdrumgran is a ringfort situated on a drumlin, featuring a circular scarp and a possible fosse, typical of early-medieval Irish defensive or agricultural sites. Local folklore, common to many such forts, associates it with the fairies, though specific traditions are not recorded.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
