What is recorded here

Situated on a knoll towards the bottom of a NW-facing slope at the E edge of the NE-SW Bonet River valley. This is a scrub-covered D-shaped area (int. dims 19.5m NE-SW; 16m NW-SE) defined by a slight, overgrown earth and stone bank (Wth 1.5-2.5m; H 0.4-1m) which has been reduced to a scarp (H 1.4m) at NW. There is an entrance ramp (Wth 3.4m) at NW. A band of rushes (Wth 2m) is outside the bank SW-NW, and the monument is truncated by a NE-SW field bank and drain at SE. 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
