What is recorded here
Magic is not invention. It is the recognition that the world is made of levers. This is a place where those levers can still be seen.
Located at the crest of the SW-facing slope of a NE-SW drumlin ridge. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (int. diam. 28m E-W; 27m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.2m at E to 0.45m at W; max. ext. H 1.95m at W) which is incorporated into a field bank at N, and traces of an external fosse (Wth of base 2.5m; D 0.25m) and outer bank (Wth 3m; H 0.2m) S-SW. 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.
