What is recorded here

Marked as a circular embanked enclosure described as a ‘Fort’ on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as a hachured feature on the 1907 ed. It is situated on top of a small hillock. This is an overgrown subcircular platform (diam. c. 20m) defined by a steep scarp (H 1.4-1.6m). 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
