What is recorded here

Half hidden grass, thin stone, and a dropped earth bank still mark a small circular home on low ground beside a narrow water. It is the kind of place people later called a fairy fort because the true entrance and purpose had already faded from memory.

Situated on flat low-lying ground circumscribed by a NE-SW stream adjacent W-N. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (diam. 25.5m E-W; 24m N-S) defined by the footing of a stone wall (Wth 1.5m) ENE-SE and a scrub-covered earth and stone bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.2-0.4m) SE-SW. Elsewhere the perimeter is defined by a scarp (H 0.7-0.9m). There is no visible fosse and 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. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
