What is recorded here

Located in a SE-NW valley with a stream immediately to the W. This is a grass-covered D-shaped area (dims 28m E-W; 26m N-S) defined by a slight scarp (H 0.6-1m) which is accompanied by an outer berm (Wth c. 8m) resulting from damage at the W side (L 14m). The enclosure is also truncated by an E-W field bank and drain at S. The original entrance is not identified. The moated site (LE015-162----) is c. 30m to the N. 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
