What is recorded here
No amount of rubbing or red tape can erase the marker. The platform is a stone ringfort, a deliberate circular boundary on a gentle slope. The distinction is not decorative. It tells you the site is a built human place, not a vague fairy tale or a random pile of rocks.
Located on a gentle S-facing slope. Grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 26m N-S; 24.4m E-W) defined by a grass-covered stone spread with facing-stones, best preserved at E and W (Wth 1.85m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.8m), which is built on an artificial scarp (H 1.9m) at S (downslope). There is no identifiable original entrance.
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.
