What is recorded here

Located in pasture on a very gentle N-facing slope. 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 now a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 28m NE-SW; 24m NW-SE) defined by a scarp SE-S-NW that increases in magnitude from SE (at S: Wth 1.5m; H 0.1m) to NW (at WNW: Wth 2.8m; H 0.3m). The monument is truncated at NE by a NW-SE land-drain that borders a disused section of the N4 road, which has the modern carriageway beyond it to the NE. There is no visible fosse or entrance.
