What is recorded here

Located towards the bottom of the SW-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass-covered circular platform (diam. 26m NE-SW; 24m NW-SE) defined by a slight scarp (max. H 0.7m at SW (downslope) E-S-N, and by a scarp down to the interior (H 0.6m) N-E. 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
