What is recorded here

Situated on the E-facing slope of a drumlin. This was described in 1991 (SMR file) as a grass-covered subcircular area (int. dims 18.4m N-S; 17.6m E-W) defined by a broad, overgrown earthen bank (Wth 7m; int. H 0.5-0.8m; ext. H 0.8-1.1m) with an external fosse (Wth at base 1-2m; D 0.6m). It had largely eroded away by 2019. 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. Date of upload: 23 September 2008 Amended: 18 September 2019
