What is recorded here

Situated in a low-lying landscape. This is a grass and rush -covered circular area (int. diam. 27m N-S; 26.5m E-W) defined by an overgrown earth and stone bank (Wth 1.9-2.6m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.35m), which is reduced to a scarp in places, and an external fosse (Wth 1.8m; D 0.15m). The perimeter is incorporated into an overgrown field bank NE-SE, and the original entrance is not identified. Rath (LE027-109----) is c. 70m to the NE. 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
