What is recorded here
Enclosure in Boggaun (drumahaire By.) is a grass-covered platform on the Tullyskeherny plateau, marked only on the 1945 map and defined by a scarp barely high enough to trip a ankle. It faces the Bonet river valley like a forgotten stage, waiting for people who stopped performing centuries ago. The missing entrance and faint boundary suggest exclusion rather than invitation, as if the land itself withdrew from human claims.
Marked only on the 1945 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, it is situated on a slight rise towards the bottom of the NW-facing slope of Tullyskeherny plateau and at the SE edge of the Bonet river valley. This is a grass-covered subrectangular platform (dims 17m N-S; 16m E-W) defined by a slight scarp (H 0.1-0.15m). There is no visible fosse and an entrance is not identified, but the possible standing stone (LE011-097002-) was c. 10m to the S.
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.
