What is recorded here

Located in pasture on the N-facing slope of a drumlin. Depicted as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) and described as a 'Fort' in gothic lettering only on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture but it is probably a rath. 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: 15 December 2011 Amended: 6 December 2019
