What is recorded here

Indicated is a ruined fairy fort on the east shore of Lough Allen, reduced to a thin broken ring and overgrown grass. It sits high on a drumlin, exposing its ghost to the water and sky. The stones may have been built for people, forgotten, then rebuilt in story as a house for what will not stay named.

Located at the crest of the E-facing slope of a drumlin on the E shore of Lough Allen. This is an overgrown circular area (diam. c. 30m) defined by the slight remains of a collapsed wall (Wth 1m; H 0.2m) N-NE which has been removed elsewhere or is covered with spoil. 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

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
