What is recorded here

Situated in a low-lying position with a shore of Lough Corry on the River Shannon c. 75m to the SE at the closest point. This is a grass-covered subcircular earthen platform (dims 43m N-S; 37.5m E-W) that slopes down to the E. It is defined by an overgrown scarp (H 0.45m) incorporated into a field bank and hedge SE-W-N, with evidence of a fosse in a band of lush vegetation (Wth 3m) N-SE. 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: 16 October 2019
