What is recorded here

Situated on a slight knoll at the E side of a col between drumlins which lie to NE and SW. This is a grass-covered subcircular or D-shaped area (dims 29m E-W; 27.7m N-S) defined by an earthen bank and hedge (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.2-0.4m; ext. H 1.2m) W-NE, and by an overgrown scarp (H 1m) elsewhere. The entrance (Wth 3.4m) is at E. There is no visible fosse but there is an outer drain E-SW, and the perimeter is slightly truncated by a field and road bank (L 12m) at W. 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
