What is recorded here

Indicated is a broken fairy fort on a gentle Leitrim rise, its twenty-eight-metre circle halved by a later field wall and stripped east. Facing stones still lie flat along the south, west and north, marking a boundary that human greed or forgetfulness failed to erase completely. The missing eastern edge becomes a scarp rather than a wall, as if the place surrendered part of itself instead of resisting.
Towards the top of a gentle rise. Overgrown circular area (diam. c. 28m) defined by the base of a stone wall with facing-stones (Wth 2m; H 0.4m) S-W-N. The monument is bisected by a N-S field wall and largely removed to E of this feature where the perimeter is defined by a slight scarp. 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
