What is recorded here

Located towards the top of the S-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass and scrub-covered circular area (diam. 32m NNE-SSW: 32m NNW-SSE) defined by a scrub-covered earthen bank (Wth 5-6m; int. H 0.2-0.3m; ext. H 0.5-1m) and external fosse (Wth of base 2.5-3.5m; ext. D c. 0.2-0.4m). There is an entrance (Wth 2m) at WSW and the monument is bisected by a NE-SW field bank and drain. 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
