Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Adereen — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Adereen holds a forgotten rectangular fort where a shallow scarp still marks the boundary between human ambition and territorial pride. The earth rose high enough to exclude strangers but low enough that grass could eventually erase the angle of its making. A missing entrance suggests the builders valued privacy more than display, or that the land simply swallowed the gap.

Located on top of a low rise in an undulating landscape. This is a grass-covered subrectangular area (dims 46m N-S; 38m E-W) defined by an overgrown scarp (H 0.45m at E to 1.35m at N) which is incorporated into a field bank SE-S, with an external berm (Wth 3m) suggestive of a fosse at NW. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 17 October 2019
