What is recorded here

Located on top of a low drumlin. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 26.5m N-S; 25.5m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.4m generally to 1.75m at SW) and a fosse represented by an external band of rushes (Wth 2-3m). 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
