What is recorded here
That is the name recorded for this place. The facts supplied do not state whether it is a fort, a fairy fort, a hill, a boundary, a field or a memory. They say only that the name exists and that it is not classified. A place may be real in the life of a region before it is known to the person asking about it.
Situated on the E-facing slope of a drumlin. This was described in 1991 (SMR file) as a grass-covered subcircular area (int. dims 18.4m N-S; 17.6m E-W) defined by a broad, overgrown earthen bank (Wth 7m; int. H 0.5-0.8m; ext. H 0.8-1.1m) with an external fosse (Wth at base 1-2m; D 0.6m). It had largely eroded away by 2019.
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.
