What is recorded here

Indicated is a buried fairy fort in County Leitrim, its round edge hidden beneath grass and forgotten time. The land holds the shape of a chamber, though no wall remains for a human hand to touch. What was built there has returned to the earth, leaving only the memory of a room behind the living ground.

Situated on a slight N-S ridge in a low-lying landscape between drumlins. This is an overgrown circular area (diam. 30.2m NNE-SSW) defined by a round-bottomed fosse (at N: Wth of top 6.1m; int. D 1m; ext. D 1.1m), which is recut as a field drain SE-W-NW. 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 upload: 23 September 2008 Amended: 5 December 2019
