What is recorded here

Situated on a rise which is on a gentle E-facing slope. This is a grass-covered oval area (int. dims 31m NW-SE; 24m NE-SW) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 2.5-3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.2m) which is incorporated in a field bank and hedge with an outer drain (Wth of base 1m; ext. D 0.5m) SE-W-N, and reduced to a low scarp (Wth 2m; H 0.3m) elsewhere. 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 amended upload: 5 December 2019
