What is recorded here

Situated just off the crest to the NE of a slight N-S ridge which is on the NW-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 37.6m E-W; 35.6m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base 5m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 2m) except at N where it has been removed, and an external fosse (Wth of top 6.5m; Wth of base 3.5m; ext. D 1.2m). The original entrance is not identified. 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: 9 December, 2019

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
