What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrigeen (mohill By.) stands on a drumlin slope in County Leitrim, Ireland. A circular grass area, thirty-six metres across, still shows an earthen bank and shallow outer ditch, though the entrance has vanished under growth. People may have lived, hidden or marked territory there before the land forgot the door.

Located towards the top of the W-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 36m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at N: Wth of base 3.2m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H. 0.8m), with an external fosse (at NE: Wth of top 7.2m; Wth of base 2.7m; ext. D 0.5m at NE) N-SE. 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 upload: 23 September 2008 Amended: 6 December 2019
