What is recorded here

Located towards the bottom of the NW-facing slope of a drumlin with a small NE-SW section of a N-S stream c. 70m to the NW. This is a grass-covered oval platform (dims 42m N-S; 35m E-W; H 0.8-1.2m) defined by a scarp planted with mature trees and with a ramp entrance (Wth 2.2m) at WSW. There is no visible fosse and the monument is circumscribed by a lane NE-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
