Enclosure in Sheemore

Located in an area of rock outcrop at the N foot of Sheemore Hill. This is a grass-covered D-shaped area (int. dims 29m NE-SW; 20m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3-4m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.3m) N-E-S. A gap (Wth 2.9m) separates the bank at SW from the perimeter of cashel (LE027-05001-) to which the enclosure is attached as an annexe. 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
