What is recorded here

Situated on a rise in a fairly low-lying area. It is not depicted on any edition of the OS 6-inch map but it is suggested by a curving field bank E-SW on the 1945 revision, and the rest of the perimeter is visible on aerial photographs (OS: 4/ 6746-7) and some later series. This is a grass and rush-covered circular platform (diam. 33m E-W; 31m N-S; H 0.8m) defined by a wet shallow fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.25m). An original entrance is not detected but the platform is surrounded by a field banks E-S-W. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 15 October 2019
