What is recorded here

Located on a NW-facing slope. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (int. diam. 22.5m N-S; 21.5m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (at SE: Wth 3.1m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.65m) and hedge, with an external fosse (at SE: Wth 1.9m; D 0.2m). The original entrance is not identified. It remains unplanted in a forest (Bing 2013). 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
