What is recorded here

Situated on a knoll in a small basin. This is an overgrown D-shaped area (dims 34.5m N-S; 32.3m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.7m at N to 1.2m at W) SW-NE and by an intermittently visible earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.7m) NE-SE. The entrance (Wth 2.4m) is at E and the monument is truncated by an E-W field bank (L 17m) at 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
