What is recorded here

Located towards the top of the severe S-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass and scrub-covered oval area (dims 32m E-W; 25m N-S) defined by a slight, scrub-covered earthen bank (Wth 4.5m; H 0.1m) at E, a round-topped and overgrown earthen bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.6m) SW-NW, an overgrown scarp (H 2m) SE-SW, and an internal scarp (H 1.7m) NW-NE. There is no visible fosse or 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
