What is recorded here

Situated on a rise that is towards the bottom of a S-facing slope, and it overlooks a poorly-drained basin (dims c. 140m E-W; c. 100m N-S) just to the E. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 26.8m E-W; 24.6m N-S) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 3.5-4m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.75m) with intermittently visible double facing-stones (Wth of wall 2m) surmounted by a drystone field wall. There is no identifiable original entrance. 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
