Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drummaunroe

Located towards the top of the W-facing slope of a low rise. This is a grass and rush-covered circular earthen platform (int. diam. 24m N-S; 22.5m E-W) defined by a slight but overgrown earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.4m,) which is incorporated into a field bank NNW-E-SSE and reduced to a scarp E-S-N. There is an external fosse (Wth 1.8m; D 0.2-0.8m) SE-S, and a modern entrance (Wth of base 6.5m) at N. 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: 16 October 2019
