What is recorded here

No visible gap remains in the grassy circle, yet the missing entrance likely marked the only path into a lived space. People may have crossed the shallow outer ditch, climbed the earthen bank, and used the narrow ridge for shelter, storage, or ritual. The fort still holds its shape on the drumlin, waiting for that lost doorway to be imagined.

Located on top of a fairly low NE-SW drumlin ridge. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 35m NE-SW) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 2.1m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.2m) S-SW, which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.7m) at N and incorporated into field boundaries and hedges elsewhere, and an external fosse (at S: Wth 1.8m; D 0.4m). 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
