What is recorded here
No amount of thinking will solve the missing entrance at Drumkeelan. The facts refuse to fit together, the thought must turn back, and the gap must be admitted rather than invented.
Situated on the gentle S-facing slope of a drumlin. This is an overgrown circular area (diam. c. 20m), defined by an intermittently visible earthen scarp (H c. 0.45m) NW-E-SW, which is truncated by a N-S field wall at W. There is no visible fosse and an 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.
