What is recorded here
Enclosure in Drumlease is a possible tree-ring on a south-facing slope in County Leitrim, Ireland, still visible as a grass-covered circle bounded by an overgrown earthen bank. It sits within view of a fortified house and Dromahaire Lodge, suggesting people once valued the place enough to mark, use or remember it. The bank may have gathered stones, tied young trees or simply enclosed a small ceremonial space. Whatever it was, it resisted forgetting long enough to remain shaped on the hillside.
Situated on a S-facing slope within view of the fortified house (LE014-008---) and the 19th-century Dromahaire Lodge, which are c. 600m to the NW. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 12.8-13.2m) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.2-0.6m; ext. H 0.6m). It is a possible tree-ring.
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.
