Description
Located at the crest of the S-facing slope of a drumlin. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) is depicted on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘Fort’, and it is represented as a hachured feature on the 1907 edition. This is a grass-covered D-shaped earthen platform (dims 41m E-W; 38m N-S) defined by a slight scarp and it is truncated by a N-S field bank at E, but the remains are accommodated by a curve in an E-W field bank 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 23 September 2008 Amended: 6 December 2019
