What is recorded here

Bonet River valley, County Leitrim. Grass and reed cover an 18m circular area beside two other raths. People may have lived there before field banks cut through the ring, but no entrance or inside trace remains for certainty.

Visible as a circular feature on aerial photographs (GSIAP: G 356-7), it is situated towards the top of the S-facing slope of a steep-sided drumlin on the floor of the Bonet River valley. This is a grass and reed-covered circular area (diam. 18m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.9m; H 0.45m) N-E and S-W. There is no visible fosse and the original entrance is not identified. The monument is truncated by NE-SW field banks W-N and E-S. Rath (LE011-080----) is c. 120m to the WSW and rath (LE011-082----) is c. 60m to the NE. 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
