What is recorded here

Half-hidden between drumlins in Lavagh, a grassy ring no wider than a living room still holds its shape. People built it, lived inside it, and left it to the rain. Centuries later the rain gave it back to myth, renaming the fort a fairy home because the truth had become impossible to remember.

Situated on a slight SE-facing slope in a low-lying position between drumlins. This is a grass-covered D-shaped area (dims c. 28m N-S; c. 26m E-W) that slopes down gently to the SE. It is defined by a straight NNW-SSE field bank and hedge at W and an intermittently visible and overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base 3.1m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.9m) elsewhere, with traces of an external fosse visible as a band of rushes (Wth 3-10m) E-S. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 16 October 2019
