What is recorded here

On a prominent flat-topped area of rock outcrop (max. H c. 20m) with an easy and natural approach from the S. Grass-covered oval platform (dims. 54m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by the natural slope which has dense vegetation and an almost vertical drop at N. There is some stone spread on the slope which may have come from a collapsed wall on the perimeter. There is a ramp entrance (Wth c. 3m) at S, but there is no visible fosse. 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
