What is recorded here

Situated in a slight E-W valley on the SW-facing slope of the Tullyskeherny plateau. This is an oval grass-covered area (int. dims 100m E-W; 64m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.3m) and outer drain (Wth 1.2m; D 0.2m) which only survive ESE-SE, and a stone spread (Wth 2m; H 0.2m) SE-S. The perimeter is a slight bank and outer ditch S-WSW but the bank is removed WSW-WNW. From there it is incorporated into a road bank which circumscribes the enclosure around to ENE. The perimeter has been removed ENE-ESE. There is no discernible entrance. 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

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
