What is recorded here

Located on the S-facing slope of a small drumlin. Rush-covered subcircular area (int. dims. 29.8m E-W; 25.4m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (at N: Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.45m) which is reduced to a scarp S-SW, and an external fosse (at N: Wth 1.3m; D 0.2m). The original entrance is not identified. It remains unplanted at the W edge of a forest (Bing 2013). 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
