What is recorded here

Situated close to the top of the W-facing slope of the S peak of Mong Hill. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (int. dims 29m E-W; 26m N-S) defined by a grass-covered stone spread with intermittently visible internal and external facing-stones (at E: Wth 2.5-3m; H 0.1m). The monument is overlain by an E-W field wall towards the perimeter at N, 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
