What is recorded here

Located on the steep SE-facing spine of a NNW-SSE drumlin ridge, with a N-S stream in the valley c. 100m to the E. A small circular scrub-covered enclosure (diam. c. 20-25m) is depicted only on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘Fort’. 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
