What is recorded here

On top of a steep-sided hillock. Overgrown, subcircular platform (dim. 31m WNW-ESE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4-5m; H 0.3m) E-S-W which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.4m) elsewhere, with facing-stones visible at ENE. The monument is bisected by a WNW-ESE field wall and is in woodland S of this feature and rough pasture N of it. 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
