What is recorded here

Two conjoined embanked enclosures sit on a gentle rise in County Leitrim, marked on the 1835 map and still visible as a grass-covered platform twenty-five metres across. The eastern part leans into a natural three-metre slope while field banks cut across its edges, leaving no clear entrance or ditch. This is not a grand fortress but a small, practical shape: a place where someone stood above the surrounding land, watched the fields, and belonged to the routine of the townland.

Marked as two conjoined embanked enclosures on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and situated on top of a gentle rise. The E feature is a subcircular, grass-covered earthen platform (dims 25m N-S; 22m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.3-0.5m), except E-SE where it is incorporated into a natural slope (H c. 3m). It is truncated slightly by a NNW-ESE field bank at W and a NE-SW field bank at N. There is no indication of a fosse or of an original entrance. The ringfort (LE001-004001-) is just to the NW. 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 revised upload: 11 December 2015
