What is recorded here
Situated on a S-facing slope towards the head of the SW-NE Scardan river valley. A circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 26.5m N-S; 25.1m E-W), which remains unplanted in a coniferous forest, is defined by a drystone wall (Wth. 2-2.5m; int. H 1.5-1.8m), the upper part of which is rebuilt. The entrance (Wth. 0.9m) at ENE is lined with large stones, and the Man-made underground passage (LE012-026002-) is in the SE quadrant of the interior.
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.
