What is recorded here

Indicated is a hidden stone ringfort on a southern drumlin slope in County Leitrim, preserving an eighteen-metre rectangular chamber beside an outer ditch. Its eastern stones have been absorbed into an ordinary field wall, while grass and forgotten time have taken the rest. The entrance has vanished, but the boundary still leans against the sky like a house waiting for someone to remember its name.

Located at the crest of a shoulder on the S-facing slope of a drumlin. This is an overgrown subrectangular area (int. dims 18m E-W; c. 18m N-S) defined by the remains of a stone spread (at E; Wth 2m) which is incorporated into a field wall (Wth 1m; H 0.9m) SW-NW, and with an outer fosse (at E: Wth of base 1.5m; D 0.6m) N-E. 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. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
