What is recorded here

Located at the base of a NW-facing slope with a small canalized WSW-ENE stream c. 30m to the N. This is a grass-covered oval area (dims 26.5m E-W; 20.7m N-S) defined by an overgrown earth and stone bank (Wth 3-3.5m; int. H 0.7-1m; ext. H 1-1.6m) NE-S-SW, and by an overgrown scarp (H 1.2-1.4m) elsewhere. The entrance (Wth 3.2m) is at NE but there are gaps also in the bank at SSE (Wth 2.4m) and SSW (Wth 1.6m). 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
