What is recorded here

Located on a rise at the S foot of Mong Hill. This is a grass-covered circular platform (diam. 31m E-W; 30.5m N-S; H 0.7m) defined by a slight earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.7m) at SSW which is reduced to a scarp elsewhere and a fosse represented by an external band of reeds (Wth 2-3m) which is most clearly visible W-N. A possible house site consisting of a subrectangular area (dims 4m x 4m) defined by earthen banks (Wth 0.9m; H 0.2m) is outside the perimeter at S. 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
