What is recorded here

Half a kilometre east of Fawnlion, a grassy ring stands on an east-facing shelf, its earthen bank barely high enough to clear an ankle yet wide enough to hold a person inside. Two small streams join seventy metres away, and the ring overlookes that meeting like a watcher seated above a conversation. Local tradition speaks of an underground passage forty-five metres to the north-east, but no entrance is visible, leaving the fort either incomplete or deliberately hiding its exit.

Located on a shelf on an E-facing slope and overlooking the junction of two small streams c. 70m to the E. Grass-covered subcircular area (int. dims 32m E-W; 29m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.6m) with some bushes, which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.6m) N-NE. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance, but there is a local tradition of an underground passage, possibly a Man-made underground passage, located c. 45m to the NE. 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
