What is recorded here
Marked only on the 1909 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on the E bank of a small S-N stream and c. 10m from the S shore of Lough Melvin. This is an overgrown oval area (dims 18m E-W; 15m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.85m at N) with no evidence of a fosse. The original entrance is not identified.
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.
