What is recorded here

Located towards the bottom of a gentle W-facing slope with a small SW-NE stream c. 130m to the NW. This is an overgrown circular platform (diam. c. 35-40m) defined by a scarp (H 0.6-0.8m at S to 1.2-1.4m at N) surmounted by a stone spread (Wth 1.5-2m; H 0.2-0.8m), sometimes with a berm (Wth up to 2.7m) between the outer edge of the spread and the top of the scarp. There are entrance gaps at NNE (Wth 2.2m) and at E (Wth 2.2m). Cashel (LE014-034----) is c. 160m to the 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
