What is recorded here

Located towards the bottom of a SE-facing slope. This is an overgrown subcircular area (dim. 27.5m N-S) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 4m; int. H 0.2m generally to 0.4m at NW), which is reduced to a scarp at SE. An original entrance has not been 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
