What is recorded here
Located on the SE-facing slope of a NE-SW drumlin ridge. It is depicted as a lozenge-shaped overgrown field on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and as a similarly-shaped hachured feature on the 1945 revision of the 6-inch map. This is an overgrown, oval platform (int. dims c. 35m E-W; c. 30m N-S) that slopes down to the SE. It is defined by an earth and stone field bank (Wth 1.2m; H 0.25-0.5m) and hedge with a slight external fosse (Wth 2-3m). The original entrance is not identified, and it might be a field.
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.
