What is recorded here
Situated on rock outcrop in a low-lying landscape between low drumlins to the N and S. This is a subcircular grass and scrub-covered area (int. dims 31m E-W; 27.5m N-S; ext. dims. 37.4m E-W; 35m N-S) with some trees at the centre. It is defined by a revetted stone spread, of which only the base courses of some large stones (dims c. 1m x c. 0.3m; max. H 0.5m) survives. The wall (Wth 3-4m) has a drystone wall on top in places. The entrance (Wth 1.4m) through the drystone wall is at N, but no other entrance is identified.
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.
