What is recorded here
Situated in an undulating, low-lying position in the landscape. This is a grass-covered circular enclosure (ext. diam. 17m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.9m; H 0.2m) and internal fosse (Wth of base 4.3m; D 0.45m). A gap (Wth 3.5m) in the bank at N may be modern. Archaeological testing (04E1299) c. 30m to the SW produced no related material (Read 2007).
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.
