What is recorded here

Situated in a low-lying position among drumlins, with a small canalised NE-SW stream c. 50m to the NW. No archaeological feature is recorded on any map at this location but a D-shaped area is visible on aerial photographs (GSIAP: G 152-3) and some later series (OSAP: 2012). This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 30m) defined by a band of rushes and reeds (Wth 4m). The original entrance is not identified but the perimeter is truncated slightly by a NW-SE field bank and drain at SW. 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
