What is recorded here

At the N end of a N-S drumlin ridge on the W shore of Lough Allen. Rush-covered subcircular area (dims. 44m N-S; 38m E-W) defined by an overgrown scarp (H 0.5-0.7m). There is a modern entrance (Wth 3m) at SE where the site is skirted by a NE-SW laneway. 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
