What is recorded here
Situated in a low-lying landscape with a small N-S stream c. 10m to the E. This is a grass-covered circular earthen platform (diam. 38m N-S; 35m E-W) defined by an intermittently visible overgrown earthen bank (at W: Wth of base 5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.1m) with an external fosse (at W: Wth of base 2m; ext. D 0.8m), but the bank is frequently reduced to a scarp (H 1m). There is a causeway (Wth of top 3.8m) across the fosse at E, and the perimeter is slightly truncated by an E-W field bank at S.
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.
