What is recorded here

Located on a gentle S-facing slope. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 29m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank which is best preserved at W (Wth 3m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1m) but which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.4m) E-S. There is a slight but overgrown external fosse, and an entrance (Wth 4.1m) with a causeway is at NW. 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
