What is recorded here

Situated in reclaimed pasture at the N shoulder of a N-S drumlin ridge. It was recorded in 1983 as a circular area (diam. 38m E-W; 36m N-S) defined by the remains of a bank with traces of an outer fosse (SMR file). Despite Moore (2003, 120, No. 935) this monument is still extant and appears to be a circular grass-covered enclosure defined by an earthen bank and hedge (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 revised upload: 10 April, 2017
