What is recorded here
Half-hidden beneath a field bank and dressed in rushes, the fort waits like a forgotten room. Its shallow curve and narrow ditch suggest people once shaped the land before forgetting the name.
Situated in a low-lying position at the bottom of the SE-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass and rush-covered D-shaped area (dims 33m NE-SW; 16m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.1m; H 0.4m) with some bushes and an external fosse (Wth 2-6m) visible as a band of rushes SW-W-NE. The monument is bisected by a NE-SW field bank, and it is not visible SE of this feature.
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.
