The National Monuments Service's description
On the NE-facing slope of a small rise. Grass-covered circular area (int. diam. c. 45m) defined by a drystone wall (Wth c. 2m; H c. 1.5m), except NE-SE where the perimeter has been removed and a rectangular extension (dims c. 30m N-S; c. 10m E-W) defined by a drystone wall, added. There is a modern entrance (Wth c. 3m) at W. There is a local tradition of a children's burial ground in the interior (OS Name Book No. 84, 585), but no visible evidence of one.
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.
