What is recorded here

No human hand built Creenagh, according to local story, but the claim is not proven. The earth rose in two rings around an empty centre, and people left the field unworked because the boundary belonged to someone else. That is all the fact available, yet the shape still excludes, which means the fort is doing something even without a name for its maker.

Located in pasture on top of a rise. It is not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map but is visible clearly as a bivallate circular feature (int. diam. c. 50m; ext. diam. c. 80m N-S) defined by a wide inner and narrow outer fosse features on aerial photographs (GSIAP: G 211-10). No feature was visible at ground level in pasture in 1991, and the area remains unplanted in a forest (Bing 2013). 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
