Enclosure in Drumhany

Located on the crest of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 62m NNW-SSE; 32m ENE-WSW) defined by a slight but overgrown earthen bank (at E: Wth of base c. 3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.5m) which is largely represented by a scarp (Wth c. 3m; H 1.5m) elsewhere, and a fosse that is only visible (Wth of top 5m; Wth of base 1m; ext. D 0.4m) across the ridge N-NE. There are numerous entrances but none could be identified as the original. The monument is truncated by a farmyard immediately to the S, which was present on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 23 September 2008 Amended: 6 December 2019
