Barrow

Located at the crest of the steep NW-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass-covered mound (diam. c. 9m) defined by a shallow fosse (Wth of base c. 1m; ext. D 0.2-0.4m) which can only be traced N-SW (ext. diam. c.19m N-S). There is no visible outer bank. 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
