What is recorded here

Located towards the NW end of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is a grass-covered D-shaped area (dims 33.4m E-W; 24m N-S) defined by a slight scarp (H 0.2-0.3m), with an outer fosse (Wth of top 4.6m; D 0.3m) and external bank (Wth of base 5.6m; ext. H 1m) SW-NW. The monument has some scrub on the perimeter and is truncated by straight field banks and ditches at N, E and S, but it remains unplanted in a coniferous forest (Bing c. 2013). 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
A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.
