What is recorded here

Fairy forts disguise human ingenuity as magical mystery. This is a ringfort: a made place, likely lived in, built with thought and labour. The fairies enter later as a story people told when they no longer understood the shape. That is not the same as claiming the trick is finished.

Situated at the crest of the E-facing slope of a small drumlin. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (diam. 23.5m NE-SW; 22.8m NW-SE) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 2.3-2.7m; int. H 0.3-0.6m; ext. H 0.5m) N-E-SW, which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.6m at SE to 1.2m at SW) elsewhere. 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
