Description
Located towards the top of the S-facing slope of a drumlin. It is represented only on the 1945 revision of the OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped hachured feature truncated by a roadway at E. This is a grass and rush-covered D-shaped platform (dims 29m NW-SE; 13m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (H 0.45m at NW to 0.8m at SE) SE-W-NW, and an outer berm (Wth 2-3m) S-SW which may be the remains of an external fosse. ANW-SE road truncates the monument at NE and there is no evidence of it NE of the road. 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.
