What is recorded here

Indicated is a hidden rectangular fort in County Leitrim, drawn on old surveys but erased from the living land. It may have been a trading post, a refuge or a forgotten home, yet no wall or gate remains to prove which. The Glenaniff River still flows nearby while the fort disappears into pasture and time.

In reclaimed pasture towards the bottom of a steep E-facing slope with the S-N Glenaniff River c. 170m to the SE. Depicted as a rectangular area (dims c. 40m E-W; c. 30m N-S) and entitled 'fort' on the first edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is not visible at ground level. 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 revision: 7 January 2016
