What is recorded here

Located on a rise towards the W end of a low E-W ridge. This is a grass-covered D-shaped area (dims 23.3m N-S; 22m E-W) defined by an overgrown stone spread (Wth 5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.5m) SW-W-NE with evidence of facing-stones of a wall (Wth 1m). It is truncated by a N-S field wall at E and backs on to a severe downslope at S. 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
