What is recorded here

Situated on top of a drumlin. This monument is not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map but it is visible as a circular feature on aerial photographs (GSIAP: G 211-10). It is a grass-covered subcircular area (dims 29.3m E-W; 26.3m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 2.95m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.6m), which is reduced to a scarp at E and incorporated into a field bank S-W-N. There is an external fosse (at S: Wth of base 1.9m; D 0.2m) N-E-S. 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
