What is recorded here

On the S-facing slope of a low drumlin and c. 400m NE of a SW-NE extension of Lough Edin. This is a grass and rush-covered D-shaped area (int. dims 30m N-S; 25m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank which is best preserved at S (Wth 5.3m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1.25m) and an external fosse (at S: Wth 2.9m; D 0.25m). The original entrance is not identified, but the perimeter is truncated at NW by a NE-SW field bank. 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
