What is recorded here

Situated towards the top of a slight S-facing slope. This is a grass-covered oval area (int. dims 48m NE-SW; 42m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (H 0.4-0.6m) with the slight remains of a bank (Wth 2-5m) intermittently visible. An outer fosse is represented by a band of lush vegetation (Wth 2m) W-NW. 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
