What is recorded here

Situated in a low-lying position between drumlins. It is depicted as a hachured feature only on the 1945 revision of the OS 6-inch map. This is a grass-covered circular platform (diam. 35m E-W; max. H 0.25m) defined by a band of rushes (Wth 3m). The original entrance is not identified, but there is a slight curve to accommodate it in a NW-SE field bank at 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
