Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Jamestown

Located on a W-facing slope in improved pasture. It was first identified by Susan Curran as part of an M.A. thesis with University College Dublin using a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the National Roads Authority. This is a subcircular area (dims 28m E-W; 24m N-S) defined by the slight remains of an earthen bank (at NE: Wth of base 6.7m; Wth of top 3m; int. 0.4m; ext. H 0.05m) S-N-E and merging into the slope yet still traceable E-S. The interior slopes down to the W with the prevalent slope but there is no evidence of a fosse or entrance.
