What is recorded here

Located towards the top of the S-facing slope at the E end of a broad E-W drumlin ridge, and on the S side of a minor E-W road. This is a grass-covered circular earthen platform (diam. 36.4m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by a scarp (at W: Wth 3.4m; H 0.8m; at NE: Wth 5.4m; H 1.4m), with a fosse (at S: Wth of top 8.8m; Wth of base 2.65m; ext. D 0.25m) NE-S-SW. The original entrance is not identified and the perimeter is slightly truncated by the E-W road bank at N. 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 upload: 23 September 2008 Amended: 5 December, 2019
