What is recorded here

Located in reclaimed pasture towards the bottom of a N-facing slope. This is a grass-covered subcircular area (dims. 36m E-W; 31m N-S) defined by a scarp (H c. 0.3-0.6m). The SE quadrant is damaged by slight quarrying, and there is no 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
