What is recorded here
Situated in a low-lying position between drumlins, with a small canalised SSE-NNW stream immediately to the W. It is depicted as a D-shaped enclosure on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map and also on the 1945 revision of the map. This is a grass and scrub-covered D-shaped platform (dims 53m N-S; 48m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.6m) and slight traces of an external fosse. The straight side is defined by a drain at W parallel with the stream. An original entrance is not identified. The rath (LE031-048----) is c. 80m to the W, on the other side of the stream.
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.
