What is recorded here

Located in a low-lying position on a slight SW-facing slope. This is a grass and rush-covered subcircular area (dims 34.2m E-W; 31m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2-4.8m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.1m), which is incorporated into an overgrown field bank NE-S-SW, and a slight external fosse (Wth 2.5m). 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
