What is recorded here

Located on the W-facing slope of the NNW-SSE spine of a drumlin. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (int. diam. 28m N-S; 27.5m E-W) that slopes down to the SW. It is defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 3.4m; int. H 0.1m generally to 0.3m at NE; ext. H 0.3m at NW to 0.95m at SW) with some bushes and an external fosse (Wth of base 1.9m; ext. D 0.2m). 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 15 October 2019
