What is recorded here

Indicated was a fairy fort in County Leitrim, Ireland, marked only on the 1910 OS map. Its stone wall disappeared before measurement, leaving a faint circular scar on a south-facing slope. The land kept its shape while human memory released it, turning history into dream.

Marked only on the 1910 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated towards the bottom of a S-facing slope. This is an overgrown, spoil-covered circular area (diam. c. 25m), described locally as a fort defined by a stone wall which was removed several years previously. It is no longer visible at ground level. 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
