What is recorded here

No visible trace remains in the improved pasture, yet the 1835 map marked a thirty-five-metre circular fort on the rush-covered ground below the drumlin slope. Humans may have built that ring before agriculture erased it, or the land may have worn the stones into memory. Either way, the absence does not diminish the shape. It invites imagination to complete what measurement stopped recording.

Situated on flat, rush-covered and low-lying ground at the base of the S-facing slope of a drumlin. It is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a fort. No feature is visible at ground level in improved pasture. 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 revision: 13 December 2011
