What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Sranagross, County Leitrim: a 29m grass ring on a hill slope above Glenfarne valley, marked by a low scarp and faint outer ditch. People may have lived there, feared it, or simply passed it by; the earth keeps the shape while memory thins.

Situated on the SE-facing slope of a hill on the floor of Glenfarne valley, with a W-E section of the stream c. 100m to the S. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. c. 29m) defined by an overgrown scarp (max. H 0.85m) with a slight external fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.2m). 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
