What is recorded here

Located just off the E-facing crest of a NNW-SSE drumlin ridge. This is a grass-covered subcircular platform (dims 43.5m E-W; c. 39.2m N-S; H 0.7m) defined by a fosse that is best preserved S-W-N (at SW: Wth of top 7.1m; Wth of base 2m; int. D 0.7m; ext. D 0.4m) but the perimeter melds into the hillslope elsewhere. A NE-SW field bank slightly truncates the enclosure at S. 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
