What is recorded here
Located on the SE-facing slope of a drumlin, this monument was covered in field spoil and generally overgrown in 1991. It is depicted as a D-shaped enclosure on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a hachured D-shaped feature (dims c. 30m E-W; c. 25-30m N-S) backing on to a straight field bank at W on the 1945 revision of the map. No archaeological feature could be identified at ground level, but it is probably a rath.
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.
