What is recorded here

Situated on a shelf towards the bottom the N-facing slope of a drumlin in the Bonet river valley. This is an overgrown subcircular platform (dims 37m NNW-SSE; 33.7m ENE-WSW; H 0.8-1.1m) defined by a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of base 2-2.8m; ext. D 0.2-0.5m) best preserved at W and N, but the perimeter is quarried away SE-SW. The original entrance is not identified. 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
