Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No amount of thinking will force out a personal story about a random place.
Situated on the SW-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass-covered circular earthen platform (diam. 25m N-S; 25m E-W) defined by a slight scarp (H 0.25m). There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. 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
