What is recorded here

Situated on a terrace towards the bottom of the E-facing slope of Mong Hill. This is a grass and rush-covered subcircular area (int. dims 25m N-S; 22.5m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 1.85m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.5m) with some bushes, and a slight external fosse (Wth of base 1.9m) W-N. It is surrounded by a field bank SE-W, 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
