What is recorded here

Situated on a SE-facing slope in a coniferous forest on what was the demesne land of Drumhierny Lodge c. 85m to the N. The parkland had been laid out by P. Latouche and was worthy of note (Lewis 1837, vol. 2, 214). This feature is a circular overgrown area (diam. c. 25m) defined by an earthen bank (at S: Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.1m) and outer fosse or drain (at S: Wth of base 1m; ext. D 0.8m). There is no identifiable entrance, and the enclosure is probably a tree-ring. 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
