What is recorded here

Situated on the S-facing slope of a rise c. 230m from the E bank of a N-S section of the River Shannon. This is a grass-covered subcircular earthen platform (dims 28m E-W; 25m N-S; H 0.25m) which is barely traceable and defined by a slight external fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.1m) NW-N which is reduced to a berm (Wth 3.5m) elsewhere. 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
