What is recorded here

Half a kilometre from the last road, a broken stone circle stands in grass so thick it swallows the ground. The gap faces north like a door left open, waiting for someone who remembers the way through. What lives inside the ring now is not written anywhere, but the grass grows taller there, as if fed by a hunger older than the valley.

Situated on a slight rise in a small N-S valley at the base of the W-facing slope of the Tullyskeherny plateau and at the E edge of the Bonet river valley. Overgrown circular area (int. diam. 22.5m N-S; 20.5m E-W) defined by an earth and stone scarp (H 0.3-1m) with the remains of a stone wall with facing-stones (Wth 1.5-2.5m) on top of it. The original entrance is not identified, although there is a gap (Wth 1.5m) in the perimeter at N. Rath (LE011-094----) is c. 50m 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 upload: 23 September 2008
