What is recorded here

Located on the S-facing slope of a drumlin. A circular enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) described as a ‘Fort’ is depicted on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map and it is represented as a hachured feature on the 1907 edition. Farm sheds were built on it c. 1970, and no archaeological feature is visible at ground level, but it was 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/revision: 15 December 2011 Amended: 6 January 2020
