The National Monuments Service's description
Towards the top of a rise. Circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 18.5m N-S) defined by an overgrown stone spread (Wth 2.4m; max. H 1.1m) with intermittently visible limestone facing-stones. There are slight traces of an outer wall at S, suggesting that at one time it might have been bivallate.
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.
