What is recorded here

Located on top of a flat-topped drumlin. This is a grass-covered circular platform (diam. 30.5m N-S; 28m E-W; H 0.25m generally to 0.7m at SSW) defined by a scarp and a slight external fosse (Wth 2m). The original entrance is not identified. A NNW-SSE field bank is just to the W with a small spur connecting with the perimeter at S. 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
