• LE032-014 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located in a col with drumlins to the NW, NE and SW and Lough McHugh c. 700m to the E. In 1945 (OSFM) this rath was defined by an earth bank but no fosse was noted.

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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 23 September 2008 Amended: 5 December 2019
