What is recorded here

Marianne and I sat inside the fort at Callowhill on that bright summer day, touching the earth and watching shadow move across the grass. I asked her to imagine the people who shaped that ring and she answered without hesitation: they lived there, loved there, and disappeared into the story the land still tells. The fort does not need a warning or a learned explanation because it is the memory of ordinary life, preserved in soil and light.

Located towards the S end of a low N-S ridge. This is a grass-covered subcircular area (dims 21m E-W; 19m N-S) defined by a fosse (at W: Wth of top 2m; D 0.4m; at N: Wth of top 6m; D 0.4m) W-NE and a scarp (Wth 2.3m; H 0.4m) NE-SE. The platform is truncated slightly by an E-W field bank at S. The original entrance is not identified. It remains unplanted in a forest (Bing c. 2013). 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
