Description
Situated on the SW-facing slope of a low N-S drumlin ridge. This is an overgrown circular area (diam. c. 25-30m) defined by a slight bank and external fosse (at NW: Wth of top 4.5m; int. D 0.8m; ext. D 1.3m) which is partly recut. There is an entrance gap (Wth 1.3m) at SE (downslope). 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
- LE025-073 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated in reclaimed pasture in a low-lying position. It is not marked on any maps but it is visible as a faint circular feature on aerial photographs (OSAP: 4/1008-9). This is a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 34m N-S; 22.3m E-W) defined by slight traces of an earthen bank (Wth c. 4.5m; H 0.1-0.2m) SE-W-NW which is separated by a fosse (Wth of base 3.5-5.5m) from an outer bank (Wth 1.5-4m; H 0.1m) SE-W-NW. The perimeter is reduced to a scarp down to the interior (H 0.2m) NW-NE, and the monument is cut by a N-S stream and road bank at E. The original entrance is not identified. Although very eroded it is probably a rath. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003).
