What is recorded here

Located towards the S end of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is a grass-covered subcircular area (dims 43m NNE-SSW; 37m WNW-ESE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.2m) N-NE and by an overgrown scarp (H 0.8-1.2m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse and the original entrance is not identified. A modern farm track bisects the monument NE-SW. 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
