What is recorded here

Located on the S-facing slope of a rise c. 250m from the NW bank of a SW-NE section of the River Shannon. It is depicted only on the 1945 revision of the OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped hachured feature. This is a grass-covered D-shaped area (dims 72m N-S; 65m E-W) defined by a low scarp (H 0.2-0.4m), which is truncated by an E-W field bank at N. Neither a fosse nor an entrance is identified. There is a NW-SE field bank towards the perimeter at E. 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 revised upload: 17 October 2019
