What is recorded here

Located towards the top of a NW-facing slope in improved pasture. It was first identified by Susan Curran as part of an M.A. thesis with University College Dublin using a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the National Roads Authority. This is a circular area (diam. 21m NE-SW; 20m NW-SE) defined by the slight remains of an earthen bank (at NE: Wth of base 6.6m; Wth of top 2.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.1m), which is reduced to an external scarp (Wth 2.1m; H 0.15m) W-N. There are traces of a fosse (at NE: Wth of top 5.6m; Wth of base 2.0m; ext. D 0.25m) N-E-S, on the upslope side. There is no recognisable entrance. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 11 May, 2015
