What is recorded here

Located towards the top of the E-facing slope of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is a grass and rush-covered circular earthen platform (diam. 30.5m E-W; 29m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.3m at N to 0.8m at E) with slight traces of a bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.2m) at SW, and an external fosse (Wth 2.4m generally to 4.6m) indicated by a band of rushes. 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
