What is recorded here

Just off the crest of the W-facing slope of a N-S drumlin ridge towards its N end. It is depicted as a small clump of trees (diam. c. 20m) only on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is a grass-covered D-shaped area (int. dims 24.6m N-S; 18.5m E-W) with the straight side at E defined by a barely visible earthen bank (at W: Wth of base 3.75; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.5m) and an external fosse (at W: Wth of top 2.55m; Wth of base 0.8m; ext. D 0.1m). 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.
