What is recorded here

Kilcoosy holds a grass-covered ringfort on a drumlin ridge, overlooking the Bonet River two hundred metres away. Its shallow scarp rises just over a metre, enclosing a small circular space marked by a narrow southern entrance. The site still looks like a forgotten bedroom of the earth, waiting for someone to remember why people built walls against the sky.

Situated at the summit of a NE-SW drumlin ridge, which is overlooking a NE-SW section of the Bonet River, c. 200m to the SE. This is a grass-covered subcircular area (dims 31m NE-SW; 27.5m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (H 0.5m at NE to 1.1m at NW) with some trees on the perimeter SE-W. There is an entrance (Wth 2m) at SSE which might be original, although there is no visible fosse, and the monument is circumscribed by field banks S-W-N. Rath (LE015-023----) is c. 80m to the E. 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
