Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumbibe

Situated in a low-lying position in an undulating landscape with a NE-SW section of a stream c. 70m to the SE. A circular embanked enclosure is indicated on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a 'fort'. This is a grass-covered circular earthen platform (diam. c. 35m; H 1-1.3m) with a concrete wall on the perimeter and an abandoned school at the centre. 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
