What is recorded here

Situated in reclaimed pasture on a small knoll overlooking a col to the SW with a drumlin rising beyond it and with the rising slope of the Tullyskeherny plateau to the NE. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 39m NE-SW) defined by a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of base 2.5m; D 0.6m) N-NE, and by a scarp (H 0.4-1m) S-W-N. The monument is bisected by a N-S field fence, and used as a farmyard E of this feature. 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
