What is recorded here

Marked only on the 1943 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as the south-western of two attached enclosures that are described as in gothic lettering as 'Cashel'. It is situated on rock outcrop in a deep NE-SW valley at the S edge of the Tullyskeherny plateau, and it is unplanted but overgrown with blackthorn in a coniferous forest. This is an overgrown subcircular area (dims c. 25m NE-SW; 20m NW-SE) defined by a stone wall (Wth 1m; H up to 1m) with a subcircular annexe (int. dim. c. 12m) defined by a stone wall attached to the NE. 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
