What is recorded here

Located at the tip of a NW-SE spur on the SE side of a drumlin. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (int. diam. 19.6m N-S; 19.3m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.3m) WNW-NE which is incorporated into a field bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.8-1.1m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse and the original entrance is not identified. Field banks are attached to the perimeter at NE, S and NW. 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
