Fairy fort / ringfort in Branra

Situated on a rise in an undulating low-lying landscape with rock outcrop. It is marked only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is a circular area (diam. 26m E-W; 24m N-S) defined by an overgrown earth and stone spread (Wth 3-4m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.45m) which has no visible facing-stones and has been partially quarried at NE. The monument is bisected by a N-S field bank and is overgrown E of this feature, but is in pasture to the W of it. 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
