What is recorded here

Situated on a steep but short SE-facing slope. This is a grass-covered D-shaped area (int. dims 17.2m N-S; 14.3m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.5-2m; int. H 0.3-0.7m; ext. H 0.8-1.1m), which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.5m) at S. The straight side is at W, and a possible external fosse, or an old drain, is indicated by a band of rushes (Wth 1m) at E. An original entrance is not identified but it probably was a rath. 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
