What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Sracreeghan, County Leitrim: a grass-covered D-shaped platform, 23 metres north-south and 22 metres east-west, on a north-facing slope in Glencar valley. Its sharp 1.2-metre scarp, lush fosse trace and possible causewayed entrance suggest a made place, not a random mound. People may have lived, herded or hidden there before memory thinned; the field bank at west shows the land kept changing around it.

Towards the bottom of a N-facing slope in Glencar valley. Grass-covered D-shaped platform (dims 23m N-S; 22m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1.2m), and traces of a fosse visible as a band of lush growth SE-S. There is a possible causewayed entrance at NNE and the perimeter is truncated by a NE-SW field bank at W. 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
