What is recorded here
Indicated is a grass-covered fairy fort on a prominent Leitrim drumlin, its oval chamber measuring twenty-seven by twenty-one metres inside a low, overgrown stone spread. The entrance has vanished beneath soil and time, leaving only intermittent facing stones visible along the south-western edge. Whoever built it stood where you stand now, looking out across the valley, then departed so completely that even the doorway they used daily has been forgotten.
On top of a prominent drumlin. Grass covered oval area (int. dims 27m E-W; 21.5m N-S) defined by an overgrown stone-spread (original Wth 3.15m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.15m), with facing-stones intermittently visible S-NW. The original entrance cannot be 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.
