What is recorded here

Half a kilometre of forgotten road leads to a shallow dish of earth where water still gathers in the ditch. The fort is small, wet and unmarked, yet it holds its shape on the drumlin slope like a breath caught under grass. People may have lived there before roads, names and memory, but the land kept the circle while forgetting the hands that made it.

Situated on the S-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass and scrub-covered circular earthen platform (diam. 36m E-W; 34m N-S; H 0.8m) surrounded by a water-logged and overgrown fosse (Wth 2-4m; D 0.3m). The original entrance is not identified. It remains unplanted in a coniferous 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
