Lisroderry Fort

Located at the crest of the SE-facing slope of a small drumlin. It is described as Lisroderry fort, from Lios Ridere - the knignt's fort - in gothic lettering on the 1835 and 1911 editions of the OS 6-inch map (OSNB, No. 84, 267). This is a grass and scrub-covered circular area (diam. c. 35m) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at N: Wth 5m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.6m) and slight traces of an external fosse (at N: Wth 2-3m). The 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

Lisroderry Fort, also known as Lios Ridere, is a ringfort situated on a drumlin in Kiltoghert, with its name suggesting a possible early-medieval origin and a connection to a "knight's fort." The name and its appearance on 19th-century maps indicate local tradition linking it to historic or legendary figures, though specific folklore is not well documented.
