What is recorded here

Situated on a S-facing slope. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 33m N-S; 31m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1m) NW-E, which is reduced to a scarp (H 1m) E-S, with an outer fosse which is most clearly visible (Wth 3m; D 0.3m) E-S. The perimeter is incorporated into a field bank (Wth 0.9m; H 0.8m) and hedge with an outer drain S-NW, but 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
