What is recorded here

Indicated is a buried fairy fort on a low rise in County Leitrim, its oval chamber forty metres long and twenty-eight wide beneath a shallow spread of grass-covered stones. No entrance remains visible, only a rebuilt field wall marking where the ancient boundary once stood. The absence of a door suggests the fort stopped wanting human visitors long before the grass swallowed its edges.

On top of a low rise. Grass-covered oval or subrectangular area (int. dims 40.4m N-S; 28.1m E-W) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.35m) at N, which is rebuilt as a stone field wall (Wth 1m; H 0.9m) elsewhere. There is no identifiable original entrance or any visible facing-stones. 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
