What is recorded here

Situated at the crest of the NE-facing slope of a drumlin. This is an overgrown circular area (int. diam. 31m N S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.6m) at N, which is reduced to a scarp elsewhere, and a flat bottomed fosse (at N: Wth of top 7.5m; Wth of base 1.8m; ext. D 1.5m). There is a modern entrance (Wth of base 3.5m) and causeway at NE. 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.
