What is recorded here

Located on improved pasture in a fairly level landsacpe. 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 an oval grass-covered area (dims 36m N-S; 28m E-W) defined by a complete but low scarp (at SSE: Wth 1.4m; H 0.2m), and an outer fosse (Wth of top 5.2m; Wth of base 2.4m; D 0.2m) ESE-S-N. There is a possible causewayed entrance (Wth c. 4.5m) at NNW, where there is a dip in the lip of the scarp and the slight depression of the fosse is not traceable. The interior is slightly dished.
