What is recorded here

Located on top of a fairly low drumlin known as Mullinascaria. This is a grass and rush-covered D-shaped area (dims 31m ENE-WSW; 29m NNW-SSE) defined by a scarp (H 0.8-1m) with some bushes and an external band of rushes (Wth 2-3m) E-S-N. The monument is truncated by a NW-SE field bank at NE and the perimeter is damaged by a quarry at SW. The original entrance is not 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
A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.
