What is recorded here

Situated in a slight hollow. It was first identified by Susan Curran as part of an M.A. thesis with University College Dublin using a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the National Roads Authority. This is a circular grass and rush-covered area (diam. 24m NW-SE; 22m NE-SW) defined by a shallow fosse that is best preserved (at NE: Wth of top 4m; Wth of base 1.5m; int. D 0.2m; ext. D 0.1m) NE-S-SW. There is no identifiable original entrance. It is overlain by a NE-SW field bank and barely traceable NW of this feature. The fosse is slightly curtailed by a NW-SE field bank at SW.
