What is recorded here

Located towards the bottom of the N-facing slope of a drumlin close to the S edge of Glencar valley. It is not marked on any maps but it is visible as a circular feature on aerial photographs (GSIAP: G 371-0). This is a circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 26m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by a slight earthen bank (Wth 2.1m; H 0.2m) which is intermittently reduced to a scarp. There is no visible fosse and the original entrance is not identified. The perimeter is slightly truncated by an E-W field bank at N. 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
