What is recorded here

Fairy forts in Prughlish sit on small drumlin tops, hiding human history beneath grass and rush. The circular area measures 26.5 metres across, bounded by a slight earthen bank and external fosse, yet its original entrance remains unidentified. What looks like a forgotten boundary may have been a lived-in threshold, marking territory, ritual or residence before the land swallowed the door.

Situated on top of a small drumlin. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (int. diam. 26.5m N-S; 26.5m E-W) defined by an overgrown slight earthen bank (at S: Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.35m) which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.55m) at E, and an external fosse (Wth 1.8m; D 0.25m). 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. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
