What is recorded here

Located on a slight S-facing slope and c. 20m N of an E-W section of the Ballinamore and Ballyconnell canal. This is a grass-covered circular or D-shaped platform (diam. 34m N-S) defined by a scarp which is best preserved at N (H 0.7m) and an outer fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.4m). The monument is truncated by a N-S field bank at E and the original entrance is not identified. Archaeological testing (02E1228) immediately to the N produced no related material (Read 2004). 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 Amended: 24 September, 2013
