What is recorded here

Located just off the N-facing crest of a short E-W drumlin ridge. This is an overgrown subcircular area (diam. 24m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (at N: Wth 6m; int. H 1-1.2m; ext. H 1.4m) SW-N-E, which is reduced to a scarp (max. H 2.7m) at S, and an external fosse (Wth of base 2.4-3m; D 0.4m) W-N-SE. The original entrance is not identified. Rath (LE014-014----) is c. 25m to the SE. 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
