What is recorded here
Situated on top of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 30.5m N-S; 28.4m E-W) defined by an overgrown flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 4.8-8m; Wth of base 1.45-2m; int. D 1.3-1.9m; ext. D 1.4mW-N-E to 2.1m at S) and an overgrown outer bank (Wth of base 4.5-7m; ext. H 0.7m at E to 1.65m at W). A low rise at S around the perimeter of the platform suggests that it may have had an inner bank, but the original entrance is not identified.
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.
