The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise in an undulating landscape. Grass and scrub-covered D-shaped area (dims 27m N-S; 23m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 2m), but truncated by an ENE-WSW field wall at S and the perimeter is incorporated into a field bank N-E. Half of a circular hut site (LE001-002002-) (int. diam. 4.3m; ext. diam. 6.5m) survives S of a silted field drain in the interior, and a rectangular house site (LE001-002003 ) (int. dims 6.4m NW-SE; 4.6m NE-SW; ext. dims 8.4m NW-SE; 7.2m NE-SW) lies c. 20m outside the perimeter at NW.
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.
