Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Carrickanurroo

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

No entrance, no seam, no door. A ring of stones and grass on a steep slope, with a smaller fort a hundred and forty metres away. The shape is clear even when the history is not.
Situated on a steep SE-facing slope. This is a grass-covered subcircular area (int. dims 46m NW-SE; 41m NE-SW) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 4.4m; H 0.6m) with bushes, which is reduced to a scarp (H 1.8m) at SE (downslope). There is no identifiable original entrance. Rath (LE010-038----) is c. 140m to the SW. 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
