What is recorded here

Located just off the top of the W end of an E-W drumlin ridge. This is a grass-covered D-shaped area (dims 24.3m ENE-WSW; 22.5m NNW-SSE) defined by a scarp (H 0.1-0.7m) and an external band of rushes (Wth 2.5-3.3m). The original entrance is not identified, and the monument is truncated by a NE-SW field wall and road at NW (L 23m). It remains unplanted in a coniferous forest (Bing 2013). 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
