What is recorded here

No visible gap remains in the earthen ring at Bellanaboy, though a hidden entrance may still exist beneath grass, hedge or forgotten trod soil. The complete circle suggests a closed threshold rather than an ordinary farm boundary, inviting people to imagine what it excluded or protected.

Located towards the top of the W-facing slope of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (int. diam. 28.5m N-S; 28m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.1-5.2m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.65m) and a slight external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of base 2.6m; D 0.1-0.25m). The original entrance is not identified, and the perimeter is truncated slightly by a N-S field bank and hedge 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 upload: 23 September 2008
