Enclosure in Sheemore

Located towards the bottom of the N-facing slope of Sheemore Hill. This is a grass-covered subcircular area (dims 24m N-S; 22m E-W; int. dims 20.5m E-W; 17m N-S) defined by a slight earth and stone bank (Wth 3-4m; int. H 0.1m; max. ext. H 1m) W-N-E, with a scarp down to the interior (max. H 1.3m at S) elsewhere. There is no visible entrance and it is possible that it is an old quarry. 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
