What is recorded here

Located in a low-lying level position on the E shore of Lough Allen and c. 250m from the lake. This is a grass-covered circular platform (diam. 33m NW-SE; 32m NE-SW) defined by an eroded earthen bank (Wth 7m; H 0.4m) NE-E, which is reduced to an overgrown scarp (H 0.4m) elsewhere. The perimeter is surmounted by a field wall bordering an old lane SE-NW. 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
