What is recorded here

Conaghil holds a broken earthen ring on a drumlin shoulder, its shallow bank and faded ditch still visible beside two other raths within a hundred metres. The forest has swallowed the wider landscape, but this small circle remains unplanted, marking a place where people lived, kept animals, or simply claimed ground before the trees returned.

Located on a shoulder of the SE-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass and crub-covered subcircular area (int. dims 28.5m N-S; 22.2m E-W), which remains unplanted in a coniferous forest, defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.5-6m; int. H 0.2-0.5m; ext. H 0.6-1m), and an external flat- bottomed fosse (Wth of base 2m; D 0.1-0.4m) E-S-N. The bank is reduced to a scarp (H 0.7m) at S and the monument is trisected by an E-W field bank and drains meeting a N-S bank and drains at the centre. The original entrance is not identified. Rath (LE015-077----) is c. 100m to the WNW and rath (LE015-078----) is c. 95m to the NNW. 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
