Description
Located on a shelf on the N-facing slope of an E-W drumlin ridge and just N of a slight col between two knolls of that ridge. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 29m E-W; 25.7m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.3-0.5m; ext. H 0.8-1m) NE-E which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.6-1m) elsewhere with a hedge on the perimeter, and an external band of rushes (Wth 1.5-2m). The entrance (Wth 4m) is at E. It has been removed since 2005 and is now occupied by farm sheds (Bing 2013). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J.
