What is recorded here

Located towards the top of the SE-facing slope of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is a scrub-covered circular area (int. diam. 35m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank, best preserved at N (Wth 7.2m; int. H 1.9m; ext. H 3.5m), which is separated by a flat-bottomed fosse (at N: Wth 4.1m) from an overgrown outer bank (at N: Wth 6m; int. H 2.8m; ext. H 0.35m). 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
