What is recorded here

Located on top of a low rise in an undulating landscape. This is a grass-covered subrectangular area (dims 46m N-S; 38m E-W) defined by an overgrown scarp (H 0.45m at E to 1.35m at N) which is incorporated into a field bank SE-S, with an external berm (Wth 3m) suggestive of a fosse at NW. The original entrance is not identified. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 17 October 2019
