What is recorded here

Indicated is a grass-covered earthen ringfort in County Leitrim, Ireland, sitting forty-three metres north-south and thirty-seven and a half metres east-west beside Lough Corry. Its shallow scarp has merged into a field hedge, and a lush band of vegetation marks the forgotten ditch, while the true entrance has vanished beneath grass and time. The fort may have watched the water or hidden people from it, but its doors no longer show where they opened.

Situated in a low-lying position with a shore of Lough Corry on the River Shannon c. 75m to the SE at the closest point. This is a grass-covered subcircular earthen platform (dims 43m N-S; 37.5m E-W) that slopes down to the E. It is defined by an overgrown scarp (H 0.45m) incorporated into a field bank and hedge SE-W-N, with evidence of a fosse in a band of lush vegetation (Wth 3m) N-SE. 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: 16 October 2019
