What is recorded here

Magic and myth are not the same. What looks magical may simply be unknown. An earthen ring on a SW-facing drumlin slope in Bunny Beg, County Leitrim, is better described as a rath or ringfort than as a fairy fort.

Located towards the bottom of the SW-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (diam. 35.25m E-W; 34.15m N-S; int. diam. 32,4m E-W; 32.2m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 2-2.5m; int. H 0.4m at E to 1m W; ext. H 0.8m at N to 1.5m at E and W) which is reduced to a scarp (at S: Wth 2.4m; H 0.8m) E-S, with an external fosse (Wth of top 3-4m; Wth of base 1.5-2.3m; ext. D 0.2m at N to 0.5m generally) SW-N-SE. There is an entrance gap at NNW. 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 upload: 23 September 2008 Amended: 5 December 2019
