What is recorded here

Towards the bottom of a steep N-facing slope in Glencar valley. Grass and rush-covered oval platform (dims 22m NE-SW; 18m NW-SE) defined by an overgrown scarp (H 1.1m), with traces of a bank (Wth 2m; H 0.4m) at S. The monument is surrounded by a drainage ditch and the original entrance is not identified. 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
