What is recorded here

No visible castle wall, no stone tower, no grand gate. Only a shallow cut, a forgotten rim and a flat grassy disc where human hands once shaped the hill. That is what survives. The numbers stop here. Everything else is imagination.

Situated towards the top of the NW-facing slope of a broad E-W drumlin ridge. This is a grass, rush and reed-covered subcircular platform (dims 18.8m E-W; 16.7m N-S) defined by a scarp (at E: Wth 0.5m; H 0.4m; at W: Wth 2.65m; H 0.8m), with slight traces of a bank (Wth of base 3.2m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.4m) at E. There is no visible fosse, and the only entrance is a modern one at S. The monument is slightly truncated by an E-W field bank at S. Rath (LE032-023----) is c. 100m 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 23 September 2008 Amended: 5 December 2019
