  Description

  Situated at the crest of the E-facing slope of a broad N-S drumlin ridge. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 40m N-S; 37m E-W) defined by an eroded earthen bank (Wth 7m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.6m) SW-NW which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.8m) NW-SE, and slight traces of an external fosse (Wth of top 6-6.5m; Wth of base 2m; D 0.2m) SW-NW and NE-E. The entrance was probably at SE where there is slight dip (Wth 4m) in the perimeter. The perimeter was incorporated into an E-W field bank (L c. 20m) at S, which has since been removed (Bing 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. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
