What is recorded here

Located on the SE-facing slope of a drumlin ridge. This is a grass-covered subcircular area (int. dims 42m E-W; 37m N-S) defined by an overgrown, round-topped, steep-sided bank (at N: Wth 5.5m; int. H 0.85m; ext. H 2.1m) separated by a flat-bottomed fosse (at N: Wth of base 3.8m; D 1.1m) from a rounded, steep-sided bank (at N: Wth 2m; ext. H 0.4m) W-NE. These features have been removed elsewhere but the inner bank can be traced as a low scarp. The original entrance is not identified. 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
