  Description

  Situated in a low-lying position on the W bank of a N-S stream. It is only marked on the revised 1944 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 27m N-S; 25m E-W; int. diam. 23.27m E-W; 22.2m N-S) defined by an intermittently visible earthen bank (Wth 4.5-5.5m; int. H 0.2-0.4m; ext. H 1m) or scarp and an external band of rushes (Wth 2m). The original entrance is not identified, although it could be at NE (Wth 4.3m) or SE (Wth 3.6m). It is truncated slightly by a N-S field bank at E, and it was at one time used as a golfing green. 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
