What is recorded here

Mortons and ladders on the NE-facing slope of a col, a slight rise holding an oval rath thirty-three metres long. Earthen banks still stand one to two metres high around a narrow entrance, while grass and shadow swallow the rest. People may have lived there before forgetting the name, but the shape remains clear enough to walk around and imagine the rooms inside.

Situated on a slight rise which is on the NE-facing slope of a col, the summit of which is c. 170m to the SW where rath (LE026-024----) is located. This is an overgrown oval area (dims 33m N-S; 25.3m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.5-0.8m; ext. H 1.2-1.6m) and outer fosse (Wth of top 4.5m; Wth of base 2m; D 1m) E-S-W. The bank is reduced to a scarp (H 1.4-2.2m) and the fosse to a berm (Wth 2-2.5m) elsewhere. There is an entrance (Wth 2m), possibly original, at SE. 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
