What is recorded here

Located on a gentle W-facing slope. It is visible as a large circular feature on aerial photographs (OSAP: 4/1044-5). This is a grass-covered circular platform (diam. 84m N-S; 80m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.8m) with some bushes and a slight fosse (Wth 3m) at S, and by a scarp (H 0.5-1m) elsewhere. It is bisected by an old E-W trackway towards the perimeter at S. Archaeological testing (05E0711) just to the SE produced no related material (Henry 2008). 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
