Located on a gentle S-facing slope on the demesne of Drumrahn and c. 180m NNW of the house. This feature is indicated as a small circular feature on the 1835 and 1945 editions of the OS 6-inch map. This is an overgrown circular area (int. diam. 9m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; ext. H 1.2m) at N, and by an external fosse or drain (Wth of top 3m; int. D 0.5m; ext. D 0.2-0.3m) elsewhere. It is a possible tree-ring.
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.
