What is recorded here

Indicated as a circular enclosure described as a 'Fort' on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated on a rise on the floor of Glenfarne valley with an E-W section of the Owenmore River c. 50m to the S. This is a grass-covered circular platform (diam. c. 44m) defined by an indistinct scarp (H 0.2-0.4m). There is no visible fosse and 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
