What is recorded here

Marianne raced ahead on the black road, her shadow stretching long behind her. She reached the fort before dusk, breathless and certain the distance had narrowed for her alone. The chamber waited without light, its walls marked by hands that had touched more than stone. She returned home changed, carrying a clarity that no human tongue could name.

Located on a small knoll. It is indicated as a small D-shaped enclosure truncated by field banks at NW and NE on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a 'fort'. This is a grass and rush-covered D-shaped area (dims 22m NW-SE; 19m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (max. H 0.8m at SE) SE-W-NW. The monument is truncated by a NE-SW field bank at N and a NW-SE field bank at E. 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
