What is recorded here

Located at the shoulder of the W-facing slope of a drumlin towards its S end. This is an overgrown circular area (int. diam. c. 38m N-S; c. 36m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (at SE: Wth of base 5.7m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.5m) and an outer fosse (at SE: Wth of top 5m; Wth of base 1.5m; ext. D 0.5m). A gap at SW may be original and the interior is cut by a NE-SW field bank NW of the centre. 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: 6 December 2019
