Description
Situated on top of a small rise in an undulating, low-lying landscape. This is an overgrown circular area (diam. c. 35m) defined by a scarp (H 0.4-0.9m), but there is no evidence of a fosse or entrance. There are two long hollows in the interior that are probably quarries, one at the centre (L 8m; Wth 4m; D 0.25m) and one in the NE quadrant (L 12m; Wth 3.5m; D 0.35m). The monument is circumscribed by a field and road bank SW-NW. 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
