What is recorded here

Situated in a low-lying position with rock outcrop. A circular feature is visible as on aerial photographs (GSIAP: H 135-4). This is a grass-covered circular platform (diam. 20m E-W; 19m N-S; H 0.9-1m) with traces of a slight earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.2m) on the perimeter at SSE. There is no visible fosse or entrance but it is probably a rath. 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
