What is recorded here

Indicated faintly as a small oval embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 20m E-W; c. 15m N-S) on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a 'Fort'. It is situated in a low-lying position on the valley floor the N-S Bonet River, with the stream c. 150m to the E. The site is now occupied by a house and garden. 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/revision: 13 December 2011
