What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Farnagh, County Leitrim: a 28m grass ring on a drumlin slope, with a low eastern bank and no visible entrance. It looks less like a fortress than a forgotten room set into the hill, the kind of place where people may have kept children, sheep or secrets away from the road. The missing gap and shallow scar suggest a boundary more than a barrier, a circle drawn to hold something back or keep something inside.

Located on the W-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 28m) defined by an earthen bank (C 15m; Wth 3.9m; H 0.35m) at E and by a slight scarp (H 0.15m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or 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
