The National Monuments Service's description
On top of a hillock. Grass-covered oval area (int. dims 34.5m N-S; 26.5m E-W) defined by a drystone wall (Wth 1.25m; max. int. H 1.4m; ext. H 2.05m) with facing-stones and a hedge. There are entrance gaps at NNW (Wth 2.3m) and SE (Wth 2.4m). A bullaun stone (LE001-035002-) and a stone with an inscription (LE001-035003-), which are probably from this monument, are now kept at Tullaghan Roman Catholic church (LE001-063001-; LE001-063002-).
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.
