What is recorded here

Half-hidden in grass on a drumlin slope in Kiltycarney, the fort keeps its circle though the entrance has vanished. A thin earthen bank and faint outer ditch mark where people once drew a line between inside and outside. The fairies may have taken the gateway, but the shape still resists forgetting.

Situated on the NW-facing slope of a broad drumlin. This is an overgrown circular area (int. diam. c. 25m) that slopes down gently to the W. It is defined by an intermittently visible earthen bank (Wth 1.9m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.4m) and traces of an external fosse (Wth 2-3m). 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 15 October 2019
