What is recorded here

Situated on the E-facing slope of a low drumlin. Subcircular grass and reed-covered area (int. dims 32m N-S; 27.5m E-W) defined by a round-topped, steep-sided earthen bank (Wth 2.45m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.7m) which is reduced to a scarp at NW. Slight traces of an outer fosse (Wth 1-2m) are visible as lush vegetation N-E-SW, but the original entrance is not identified. The monument is traversed by an E-W farm track. 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
