Description
On a S-facing slope on a spur projecting SE from a drumlin. Circular area (diam. 31.5m E-W; 30m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5-4m; int. H 0.2-0.7m; ext. H 0.7-1.4m) SSE-S and W-NNW, and a scarp (H 0.1m to 0.85m at S) elsewhere with an outer fosse (Wth of top 3.8m at W to 5.5m at N; D 0.1-0.7m) W-NNE. A NNW-SSE field bank overlies the monument towards the perimeter at NE, while a farm building occupies the interior and a modern entrance has been made at SSE. Rath (RO012-014----) is c. 200m to the N. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO012-017 Standing stone
Description
Marked only on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a 'Dolmen'. Situated on a NNE-facing slope, and built into a NNE-SSW drystone wall.

Description
Situated on a rise towards the bottom of a SW-facing slope. 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 circular grass-covered area (diam. 30m E-W; 29m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (at NW: Wth of base 5.5m; Wth of top 1.4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.9m) SW-W-N, which is reduced to a scarp (at E: Wth 3.5m; H 0.9m) N-E-S. The perimeter is slightly truncated by a NW-SE field bank at SW. A section of external fosse (at ENE: Wth of top 6.5m; Wth of base 1.9m; int. D 0.9m; ext. D 0.15m) survives N-E, with a causewayed entrance (Wth 4m) at NE. The fosse is replaced by a farm road which skirts the bank WSW-N, and there is a NE-SW field bank just outside the perimeter at SE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 12 May 2015
