What is recorded here

Situated on top of a broad drumlin. It is visible as a circular feature on aerial photographs (GSIAP: G 340 / H 204). This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 29m E-W; 28m N-S) defined by a rush-filled fosse (Wth of top 5-6m; Wth of base 1.5m; D 0.3-0.7m) with ill-defined edges. The monument is within a small rectangular field and is overlain W of centre by a NNW-SSE field wall. The original entrance is not identified. 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
