THE TRUTH OF SHEEMORE
Walk Sheemore Hill
Sheemor, the Great Fairy Mound, is a limestone hill near Leitrim Village, a hard remnant too tough for glaciers to erase. Legend says two warring fairy tribes once clashed here, their epic battle remembered in the thunderous noise that echoed between the sidhes.
