What is recorded here
Forty feet of forgotten wall rise and fall beneath the grass, hiding a circular enclosure that once commanded the drumlin slope. The land has swallowed the stone, yet the shape persists in memory and old survey lines. A farm animal might still walk the unseen ridge, stepping across rooms no human eye can now find.
Situated in pasture towards the top of the W-facing slope of a drumlin. It is depicted as a circular enclosure (ext. diam. c. 30-35m) on the 1835 and 1911 editions of the OS 6-inch map. No archaeological features is visible at ground level but it was probably a ringfort. Rath (LE028-025----) is c. 50m 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.
