What is recorded here

Situated in a slight fold on the W-facing foothills of Slieve Anierin. This is a grass and fern-covered circular platform (diam. 21m E-W; 20m N-S) defined by a slight scarp (max. H 0.5m), with traces of a bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1m) and outer drain at E. 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
