What is recorded here

Located towards the top of the NW-facing slope of a drumlin and directly S of rath (LE035-003----). This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 32m N-S; 30m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 6.5-8m; int. H 0.3-0.5m; ext. H 0.5m at S to 1.8m at N), reduced to a scarp (Wth 8m; H 2.5m) at E, and an external fosse (Wth of top 7.3-10m; Wth of base 1.5-3m; ext. D 0.15m at W to 0.7m at N) which is shared with rath (LE035-002----) at NW. The original entrance is not identified, but there is a local tradition of a souterrain in the interior. 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 January 2020
