What is recorded here

Situated on top of, and at the centre of, a prominent E-W drumlin ridge (L of top c. 350m E-W). This is a grass-covered subcircular area (int. dims 34m E-W; 29.5m N-S) defined by an earthen bank with some bushes SW-N, best preserved at W (Wth 5.3m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.9m), which is incorporated into a field bank at E and reduced to a scarp (max. H 2.3m) elsewhere. 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
