Tomrud

Marked only on the 1945 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as ‘Tomrud’. It is situated on the summit of a low E-W drumlin ridge on the floor of Glencar valley. This is a circular grass-covered platform with some bushes (diam. of base 9.5m E-W; 8.7m N-S; diam. of top 6.6m) defined by a scarp (H 1.1m at S to 1.4m at N). 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. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
