What is recorded here
Situated on a slight rise of rock outcrop overlooking a W-E stream which lies immediately to the S. It is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) only on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a 'fort', and described in 1944 (OSFM) as a section of a straight scarp (L c. 9m; H c. 0.9m). The location is now occupied by a quarry.
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.
