What is recorded here

Indicated is a D-shaped stone ringfort in County Leitrim, Ireland, where a low platform rises beside a narrow stream. Its straight edge leans against the water while a curved stone wall encloses the rest, creating a small fortified bowl hidden in the landscape. The shape suggests people valued the stream as much as the stone, using the water to complete the defensible line instead of building another wall.

Situated in a low-lying position with a NE-SW stream just to the SE. This is an overgrown D-shaped platform (int. dims 26m NE-SW; 14m NW-SE; H up to 1.8m), defined by a stone spread (Wth c. 5m) and the remains of a wall (Wth 2.4m; H 0.5m). The straight side is at SE is backing on to the stream. 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
