What is recorded here

Located on top of an E-W drumlin ridge in a coniferous forest. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 28m NW-SE; 25m NE-SW) defined by a broad scarp (H 0.5-1.3m) NNW-ENE and the remnant of a bank SSW-WNW. The perimeter is truncated at NW by a NNE-SSW field wall. No fosse or entrance was identified and 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
