What is recorded here

Situated on the lower N-facing slope of Glencar valley with a S-N gully (D c. 5m) immediately to the W and a cliff (H c. 10m) falling away to the N. This is a grass and scrub-covered subcircular area (int. dims 18m N-S; 14m E-W) defined by an earthen bank with slight traces of a fosse NE-S-SW and by cliffs elsewhere. The bank is best preserved at S (Wth 2.1m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.25m). Souterrain (LE007-05902-) is in the interior at NW. 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
