What is recorded here

Located towards the top of the W-facing slope of a broad drumlin. This is a grass and scrub-covered circular area (int. diam. 27m E-W; 25m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at W: Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.45m) with slight traces of an external fosse visible as a band of reeds. 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
