What is recorded here

Indicated is a grassy fairy fort on a gentle rise in County Leitrim, holding a twenty-one-metre circular space behind a thick drystone wall. The structure sits on the plinth of an older wall, suggesting layers of human occupation beneath its quiet surface. Its original entrance has vanished, leaving the perimeter marked only by a slight scarp where stone once stood. The place preserves the shape of forgotten lives through simple stone and grass.

On top of a gentle rise. Grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 21m N-S) defined by a drystone wall (Wth 2.6m; int. H 1m at SE to 1.65m at W; ext. H 1.25m at E to 2.3m at W) built on the plinth of an older wall. The drystone wall is removed NE-E where the perimeter is evident as a slight scarp. 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
