What is recorded here

Located on a slight rise in a low-lying position amongst drumlins. This is a large grass and rush-covered subcircular area (dims 63m N-S; 57m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base 2.9m at SE to 7m at NE; int. and ext. H 0.4m) and hedge, with an external fosse (at SE Wth of base 2m; ext. D 0.5m) , which is deepened into a drain elsewhere. 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
