What is recorded here

Situated on a rise on a slight N-facing slope. This is an overgrown D-shaped area (diam. 32m E-W; int. dims 29m E-W; 19m N-S) defined by a slight bank (Wth 3-4m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1m) at E and W, which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.8m) at N, and an external fosse (Wth of top 3-4m; D 0.4m). The entrance (Wth 1.6m) and causeway (Wth 4m) are at E. The monument is truncated by an E-W field bank and townland boundary with Mullaghnameely at S and does not survive beyond it. 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
