What is recorded here

Located towards the top of a NE-facing slope overlooking Lough Annaghearly, c. 120m to the NE. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (int. diam. 26m E-W; 23.5m N-S) defined by a slight earthen bank (Wth 3m; H 0.2m) which is best preserved at NE (Wth 5-6m; H 0.35m). There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. 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
