What is recorded here

Situated on rock outcrop in an undulating low-lying landscape. it is depicted as an embanked enclosure described as a 'fort' in gothic lettering on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This is a subcircular or subrectangular cairn (dims 14.5m E-W; 9m N-S; H 0.3-1.4m), which is possibly field clearance or spoil from a quarry immediately adjacent to the S. 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
