Description
Located on a gentle SW-facing slope in an undulating landscape. This is a grass and rush-covered subcircular area (int. dims 29m N-S; 26m E-W) defined by a round-topped, overgrown, earthen bank (at SW: Wth of base 3.25m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1.1-1.3m) with an external wet fosse (at SW: Wth of base 3m; max. D 0.4m at N). The entrance (Wth of base 4.5m) is at SSE and the monument is overlain by a NE-SW field bank towards the perimeter at NW. Archaeological testing (10E0243) immediately to the SW identified a single pit (dims 1.2m x 0.5m; D 0.18m) filled with marls and clay with some charcoal and burnt bone c. 20m to the SW. (Walsh 2010, 4; 2013) 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 revised upload: 15 October 2019 Amended; 16 December 2019
- LE031-114 Ringfort - rath
Description
Located towards the bottom of a WSW-facing slope in improved pasture. It was first identified by Susan Curran as part of an M.A. thesis with University College Dublin using a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the National Roads Authority. This is a subcircular area (dims 28m ENE-WSW; 24m NNW-SSE) defined by a grass-covered earthen bank (at S: Wth of base 4.4m; Wth of top 1.7m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.2m) NE-S-NW, which is reduced to a scarp (Wth 1.6m; H 0.2m) NW-NE on the N side of an ENE-WSW field bank and hedge across the N-sector. A fosse (at S: Wth of top 6.1m; Wth of base 3.2m; D 0.2m) is visible ESE-SW but is truncated at W by the remains of a NNW-SSE field bank (now removed) and it is not visible NW-NE. The fosse is also absent NE-ESE, where it may have been removed by a N-S field boundary (now removed). There is no identifiable entrance. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 11 May, 2015
