The National Monuments Service's description
On top of a gentle rise. Circular grass covered area (int. diam. 26m N-S; 25.5m E-W) defined by an overgrown drystone wall (Wth 1.5m at W to 2.55m at NNE; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.5m) of large sandstone uprights with a rubble core, which is incorporated into a field wall NW-N. The original entrance cannot be identified. A circular hollow (diam. 1m; D 0.4m) in the NW quadrant contains loose boulders and limestone slabs, and may be the entrance to a souterrain (LE001-038001-).
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.
