What is recorded here

Forty metres east, another enclosure waits. Forty metres is nothing when measured in centuries, but it is enough to separate one breath from another. The first fort holds its shape on the drumlin slope, cut in two by later field banks that nobody seems to have built on purpose. Together they form a strange address, as if the land learned to speak in circles before it learned to speak in lines.

Located towards the top of the NW-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass and rush-covered oval area (int. dims 55m N-S; 34m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 2.1m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.25m at NE to 1.15m at W) which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.65m) at SW, and an external fosse (Wth 1.3-3m; D 0.35m). The monument is bisected by a NW-SE field bank with another field bank running SW from the centre to the perimeter. The original entrance is not identified. Enclosure (LE027-113----) is c. 40m to the E. 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
