What is recorded here

Located on a rise on a W-facing with rock outcrop. This is a grass-covered subcircular area (int. dims 30m E-W; 26.5m N-S) defined by an overgrown earth and stone bank, best preserved at NE (Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 1.35m). The bank is reduced to a scarp (H 0.5m) at S, and there is a slight external fosse visible as a band of lush growth (Wth 3.1m) SE-S. 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
