What is recorded here
Towards the top of the NE-facing slope of a NNW-SSE drumlin ridge at its N end. This is depicted as a small enclosure only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map and it is visible on aerial photographs from the 1970s (GSIAP: N 645-6) and later. This is an overgrown subcircular area (ext. dims 16m E-W; 14m N-S) defined by an earthen the bank (Wth c. 1m; int. H 0.4-0.5m; ext. H 1m) with evidence of external stone-facing. It is probably a 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.
