What is recorded here

Located on level pasture on the E bank of the river Shannon at the junction with the Shannon-Erne canal which was once a small stream. The canal forms an acute angle with the river on the N side where the monument is located. It is described as 'Gray's fort', but not depicted, on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as 'Sean's fort' on the 1911 edition. It may have been a promontory fort. No archaeological feature is 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/revision: 15 December 2011
