What is recorded here

Located towards the bottom of the SW-facing slope of a drumlin. An overgrown earthen bank (Wth 8m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1m) with slight traces of an external fosse (Wth 7m) survives S-W and these features are truncated by the remnants of an E-W field bank at N and a N-S field bank (L 14m) at E. The outline of the original perimeter can be detected in a curve in a field bank at N (int. dim 43m N-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
