What is recorded here
Magic and life are entangled there. It is an earthen ring in County Leitrim, not a passing fantasy. The chamber is twenty-one metres wide, narrow enough to face but large enough to transform. Its shallow bank and missing eastern edge invite participation rather than passive observation.
Situated on a gentle SE-facing slope. It is visible as a slight circular feature on aerial photographs (GSIAP: G, 156-7). This is a grass and reed-covered subcircular area (int. dims 21m E-W; 18m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 6.5m; H 0.35m), which has been removed at E. There is no visible fosse or entrance.
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.
