What is recorded here

Located at the S end of a NE-SW ridge. This is a grass and rush-covered subrectangular area (int. dims 37m NNE-SSW; 30.5m WNW-ESE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.35m), with traces of an external fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.2m) at N and W. The monument is truncated by a NNE-SSW field bank at E. The perimeter is reduced to a scarp (H 0.3m) at S and 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. Date of upload: 23 September 2008

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
