What is recorded here

Located on a very steep NW-facing slope of the Tulllyskeherny plateau, overlooking a NE-SW section of the Bonet River valley. Grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 30m E-W; 29m N-S) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.2m; H 0.4m) at N which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.2m at S to 0.8m at E and 1.4m at W) and hedge elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. It remains unplanted in a coniferous forest (Bing images c. 2013). 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 revised upload: 22 April, 2016
