What is recorded here

On top of an E-W drumlin ridge near the S edge of the NW-SE Glencar valley. Circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 27.2m N-S; 27.1m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.2m) at E and W, reduced to a scarp (H 1m at N to 2.1m at S and SE) elsewhere. There are slight traces of a fosse (Wth 4.5m) visible as lush vegetation at S, but 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
