What is recorded here

Half-hidden under grass and hedgerows, this is one of the oldest shaped landscapes in Carrowcrin: a broad oval platform with a surviving earthen bank and two entrance gaps. People may have lived, worked, gathered or remembered here before written records, while later farms cut through the place with field banks. The fairies keep the oldest address; the living learn not to erase it.

Located on a slight rise in a low-lying landscape. This is a grass-covered oval platform (dims 35m E-W; 29m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.7m at E, 1.6m at W, 1.8m at S) and hedge with an earthen bank (Wth 7m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.8m) surviving NW-ENE. There are entrances at WNW (Wth 3.2m) and E (2.2m) and the monument is bisected by a N-S field bank. Archaeological testing (03E1431) c. 100m to the ESE produced no related material (Read 2006). 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
