What is recorded here

Located in improved pasture on a rise of a NE-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 a subrectangular or D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 40m NW-SE; 32m NE-SW) defined by a slight scarp (at SE: Wth 3.2m; H 0.4m) that increases in magnitude from N-E-SW. The perimeter is truncated slightly at W (L 36m) by the line of a sunken field drain, and traces of what may be a sunken SW-NE field drain bisect the interior. There is no visible fosse or entrance.
