What is recorded here

Situated on top of a low drumlin. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (int. diam. 34m E-W; 32.5m N-S) defined by an overgrown, round-topped, steep-sided bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.85m) which is incorporated into a field bank NW-E, and an external fosse (Wth of base 2.1m; D 0.3m) at S. There are modern entrances at W (Wth 11m) and N (Wth 3.5m). 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
