What is recorded here

In a low-lying, wet area with a small W-E stream c. 10m to the S and c. 450m from the S shore of Lough Melvin to the N and E. This is a grass and reed-covered D-shaped area (dims 29m N-S; 26.5m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.35m at SW to 1m at NW) and slight traces of a fosse, but it is truncated by a N-S field bank and townland boundary with Sragarve at W. 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
