What is recorded here

Located on a slight S and W-facing slope in the valley the Bonet River with a N-S section of the stream c. 80m to the W. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 28.3m N-S; 27m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen scarp (H 0.4-0.7m). There is no visible fosse but there is an entrance (Wth 2.4m) at N. It remains unplanted in a forest. 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
