What is recorded here

Situated on top of an E-W drumlin ridge. It is not marked on any OS map, but it is visible as a circular feature on aerial photographs (GSIAP: G 348-7). This is a circular area (diam. 29m E-W; 27m N-S) defined by a slight scarp (max. H 0.3m) and traces of a slight fosse visible as a band of rushes (Wth 2m) which is best preserved S-W-N. The monument is quartered by field banks and drains, the E half being planted in coniferous forest, while the W half is covered with grass and rushes. 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
