What is recorded here

No fairies are recorded there, only a broken earth wall and a shallow ditch on a drumlin slope. The missing entrance and modern field banks suggest people lived, left, and were forgotten before the fort became a fairy tale.

Located towards the top of the E-facing slope of a NE-SW drumlin ridge. This is a grass and scrub-covered D-shaped area (int. dims 28m N-S; 17.5m E-W) curtailed by field banks at N and E but defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at W: Wth 8.5m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 2m) with an external flat-bottomed fosse (at W: Wth of top 9m; Wth of base 3.5m; D 1-1.2m) S-NW. The original entrance is not identified and the perimeter is circumscribed by a field bank S-NW. 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
