Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Aughriman South

Situated beside a small, meandering, E-W stream at the bottom of a N-facing slope. This is a grass and scrub-covered D-shaped area (int. dims 22m N-S; 20m E-W) that slopes down to the N where it backs onto the stream. It is defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base 1.9m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.45m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth of base 1.6m; D 0.2m) E-S-W. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 15 October 2019
