What is recorded here
No visible gap, no clear door. The earth closed the ring long ago, leaving only a drumlin slope, a buried bank, and a forgotten life inside.
Located on the SW-facing slope of a drumlin. This is an overgrown oval area (dims 37m E-W; 28.1m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (at W: Wth of base 4.6m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.4m), and external fosse (at N: Wth of top 2.4m; Wth of base 1m; int. D 0.2m; ext. D 0.3m) NW-NE, and by a low scarp (at S: Wth 4.6m; H 0.85m) and a band of lush vegetation elsewhere, although both these features have melded into the ground at W. The original entrance is not identified, and rath (LE032-039----) is c. 50m to the SE.
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.
