What is recorded here

Situated on a low shoulder of a drumlin. It is visible as a slight circular feature on aerial photographs (GSIAP: G 349-8). This is a grass and reed-covered circular area (diam. 22m N-S; 21m E-W) defined by a slight scarp (Wth 2.5-4m; H 0.1m at S; 0.2m at W; 0.4m at N) but it merges into the slope E-S. There is no visible fosse or entrance. 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
A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.
