What is recorded here

Situated on top of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is a grass-covered D-shaped area (dims 20.5m E-W; 16.5m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1m) with an external fosse (Wth of top 3m; Wth of base 1m; D 0.2m), but the monument is truncated by an E-W field bank at N and does not survive visibly N of this feature. 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
