What is recorded here

Marked as an embanked enclosure and described as a ‘Fort’ in gothic lettering on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and located towards the top of a steep S-facing slope. This is a circular area (int. diam. 21.6m N-S) defined by a drystone wall (Wth at least 1.4m; H 0.8m) with external facing-stones intermittently visible. The area is used as a haggard. 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
