What is recorded here

Located on top of a NE-SW drumlin ridge at its NE end. This is a grass and rush-covered subcircular area (int. dims 41.5m E-W; 36m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank at W (Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.55m), and by an overgrown scarp (max. H 1m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse and 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
