What is recorded here

On the W-facing slope of a ridge. Overgrown circular area (int. diam. 26m E-W; 25m N-S) defined by a round-topped earth and stone bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 0.25m at SE to 0.9m at W; ext. H 0.8m) and external fosse (Wth c. 4m; D 0.3m). The original entrance is not identified. The monument is bisected by an E-W lane and very little survives of the S portion. 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
