What is recorded here

Half a ring of earth and grass still stands on the drumlin slope in Aghameeny, cut clean through by the road that now crosses it. The missing half may have been a home, a boundary marker, or a place people avoided because it belonged to someone else. What remains is large enough to walk across and quiet enough to forget until the line of the road appears in the grass.

Located towards the top of the S-facing slope of a drumlin. It is represented only on the 1945 revision of the OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped hachured feature truncated by a roadway at E. This is a grass and rush-covered D-shaped platform (dims 29m NW-SE; 13m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (H 0.45m at NW to 0.8m at SE) SE-W-NW, and an outer berm (Wth 2-3m) S-SW which may be the remains of an external fosse. ANW-SE road truncates the monument at NE and there is no evidence of it NE of the road. 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.
