What is recorded here
Located in a coniferous forest towards the top of the NW-facing slope of a small N-S drumlin ridge. It is depicted as a small circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 20m) described as a 'fort' on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and as a D-shaped hachured feature (diam. c. 20m) abutting the N side of an E-W field bank on the 1911 edition. A slight rise (diam. c. 11m E-W; H c. 0.5m) is visible in the hillslope on the N side of a field bank, but the exact nature or this monument is not clear.
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.
