Enclosure in Tullaghan

On top of a prominent hillock (H c. 6m). It is visible as a faint circular feature on vertical aerial photographs (ACAP: V204/52-1). The flat oval top of the hillock (dims 28m NE-SW; 17m NW-SE) has no evidence of an enclosing feature. The hilltop is overlain by a NW-SE field wall towards the edge at SW, and is grass-covered S of this feature but scrub covered to the N where there are the grass-covered walls (Wth 0.8m; H 0.4-0.8m) of a rectangular house site (int. dims 5.3m NE-SW; 4.6m NW-SE). 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
