Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Carrickfad

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Situated on a knoll in an undulating landscape. Overgrown oval platform (dims 24m E-W; 17m N-S) defined by an intermittently visible, grass-covered stone spread (Wth 2-3m; max. H 0.75m) that is reduced to a scarp at S. There was no identifiable original entrance, and it is now within a forest. 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
