What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tully (leitrim By., Carrick-On-Shannon Ed) is a grass-covered circular earthen platform, about 29m across, on the SE-facing slope of a drumlin ridge in County Leitrim. An overgrown 0.8m scarp and faint outer ditch mark its edge, while a modern 2.8m gap at the west suggests people still enter the old ring. The shape may have served as a boundary, shelter or ritual marker, but the living landscape has taken it back.

Located towards the top of the SE-facing slope of a NE-SW drumlin ridge. This is a grass-covered circular earthen platform (diam. 29m N-S; 29m E-W) defined by an overgrown scarp (H 0.8m) with traces of an external fosse, best preserved N-NE (Wth 1.5-2m; ext. D 0.15m). There is a modern entrance (Wth 2.8m) at W. 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
