What is recorded here

Described as ‘Lisnabrack’ in gothic lettering on the 1945 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, it is located towards the bottom of a steep S-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 26.5m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0. 25m) which is intermittently reduced to a scarp, and traces of an outer fosse (Wth 4m) visible as lush vegetation at N. The original entrance is not 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. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
