What is recorded here

Cloonsheebane holds a twenty-metre earthen ring on a NW-facing slope, reduced now to a faint scarp and shallow fosse that cattle and grass have nearly erased. Susan Curran revealed the hidden shape through LiDAR data for her University College Dublin thesis, proving the pasture still conceals a deliberate boundary. The site lacks a clear entrance, suggesting the circle was never meant for easy human entry but for exclusion, ceremony or transformation.

Located towards the top of a NW-facing slope in improved pasture. It was first identified by Susan Curran as part of an M.A. thesis with University College Dublin using a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the National Roads Authority. This is a circular area (diam. 21m NE-SW; 20m NW-SE) defined by the slight remains of an earthen bank (at NE: Wth of base 6.6m; Wth of top 2.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.1m), which is reduced to an external scarp (Wth 2.1m; H 0.15m) W-N. There are traces of a fosse (at NE: Wth of top 5.6m; Wth of base 2.0m; ext. D 0.25m) N-E-S, on the upslope side. There is no recognisable entrance. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 11 May, 2015
