What is recorded here

Located towards the SW end of a NE-SW ridge. It is described as a circular area (diam. c. 33m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 6.5m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.9m) with slight traces of a fosse (Farrelly 1989, vol. 2, 51). The entrance (Wth c. 2.2m) was at N. The monument is still extant and remains unplanted at the SE edge of a forest. 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 revised upload: 2 February 2017
