What is recorded here

Located on top of a prominent drumlin with the River Shannon c. 150-c. 400m distant S-NW. This is an overgrown subcircular area (int. dims c. 30m NW-SE; c. 25m NNE-SSW) defined by traces of an earthen bank (at SSE: Wth of base 2.9m; ext. H 0.6m), with slight traces of a fosse at S. It is bisected by an ENE-WSW field bank, 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.
