What is recorded here

Mortons and others built Kiltoghert, though fairy fort is the local name. It stands on a low drumlin slope in County Leitrim, a grass-covered platform twenty-eight metres across, ringed by an earthen bank and outer ditch. The bank survives best on the north and west, while the south edge has flattened into a field scarp. People may have lived, herded or hidden there before the land was divided into modern fields.

In a low-lying position on the S-facing slope of a low drumlin. Grass-covered subcircular platform (dim. 28m N-S; H 0.6-1.2m) defined by an overgrown earthen bank which is best preserved NW-N (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.65m) but reduced to a scarp (H 1.2m) overlain by a field bank at S, and an external fosse (Wth 2.5-3m; D 0.5-1.2m). 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
