Field system in Sheemore

Around the top of the plateau of Sheemore Hill. A low, collapsed and grass-covered stone spread (Wth 1m; max. H 0.6m) crosses Sheemore Hill E-W (L c. 400m). Two parallel walls c. 50m apart abut this at S. The D-shaped enclosure and hut site (LE027-054004-) are associated with the walls, which could be degraded modern walls, while the hilltop enclosure (LE027-054007-) and cairns (LE027-054001-, LE027-054002-, LE027-054003-) appear to be earlier. 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
