What is recorded here
Mullaghdoo holds a broken circular platform thirty metres across, marked by a shallow ditch and a modern northern ramp that bypasses the true southeastern gap. The site sits on a slight knoll near a stream, waiting for someone to notice the difference between a convenient path and the old entrance.
Located on a slight knoll towards the bottom of a N-facing slope with a SE-NW stream c. 90m to the NE. This is an overgrown circular platform (diam. 32.5m NE-SW; 31.5m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (H 1-1.5m), and a fosse (Wth of top 6m; int. D 1m; ext. D 0.2m) NE-S-SW which is truncated by surrounding straight sections of field wall elsewhere. There is a modern ramp entrance at N (Wth 6m), but the original entrance (Wth 2m) is at 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.
