What is recorded here

Bonet River and the named locality are clear, but the writing above still inventes a precise story, age and purpose for the buried row.
Situated on top of a small drumlin on the floor of the Bonet River with a meandering E-W section of the stream c. 50m to the N. This is a grass-covered circular platform (diam. c. 30m) defined by an overgrown scarp (H 0.5m) with an intermittently visible bank, and slight traces of an external fosse. 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
