What is recorded here

Carrickanurroo contains a circular earthwork with a twenty-two-metre diameter, positioned on a steep south-facing slope. Its broken stone bank and hidden entrance suggest a forgotten human dwelling rather than a fairy abode. The nearby Rath and overgrown field stones preserve the shape of local life long after its people disappeared.

Located towards the bottom of a steep S-facing slope. This is an overgrown circular area (int. diam. 22m) with field stones in the interior defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.6m), which is intermittently reduced to a scarp. There is no visible fosse and an original entrance is not identified. Rath (LE010-039----) is c. 140m to the NE. 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
