What is recorded here

Situated in a low-lying landscape c. 30m E of a N-S section of the Cloone Stream. It is visible as a circular feature on aerial photograph (CUCAP: BDV 12). A fragment of curving earthen bank (Wth 5.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.1m) survives at NW. Elsewhere there are slight remains of a fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.15m) forming a grass-covered enclosure (diam. c. 30m) which was overlain by an E-W field bank towards the perimeter at S. 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
