What is recorded here

Half a ring of earth still stands in Garadice, cut cleanly through by a road that knows no history. The missing half likely held a house, a yard, or a life now forgotten, while the visible curve survives as a low scar across the grass.

Located in a low-lying position surrounded by drumlins. This is a grass-covered D-shaped area (dims 43m N-S; 17m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.4-0.7m) S-W-N which is truncated at E by a N-S roadway. An old grass-covered quarry (diam. 17m; D 0.5m), from which the spoil has been removed is excavated in the surviving portion. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance and there is no trace of the monument on the E side of the road, but it was undoubtedly a rath. 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

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
