What is recorded here

Not indicatedd is a fairy fort in County Leitrim, Ireland. It occupies a grass-covered knoll on a steep north-facing slope, shaping a D-shaped ring about twenty metres long and sixteen metres wide. An earthen bank two to four metres wide still marks parts of the edge, while a narrow entrance opens toward the north. The fort sits beside a small stream ravine, suggesting people once chose the place for water, defense or visibility. Its unfinished-looking gaps and hidden boundaries keep it closer to myth than measurement.

Situated on a knoll of a steep N-facing slope. Grass-covered D-shaped area (int. dims 20m N-S; 16m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2-4m) intermittently visible S-W-NE and backing (L 12m) on to the ravine (D 3m) of a S-N stream at E. The entrance (Wth 2.6m) is at N but there is no visible fosse. 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
