What is recorded here

Located on the inner edge of a shelf towards the bottom of the W-facing foothills of Slieve Anierin. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 25m) defined by a low scarp (H 0.6-1m) with slight traces of a fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.1m) at E, but there is no visible entrance. The monument is overlain by an E-W field wall towards the perimeter at N, and S of this feature there are relict lazy-beds oriented ENE-WSW. 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
