What is recorded here

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
