The National Monuments Service's description
Located on an E-W ridge with rock outcrop and rough pasture at the top of a severe slope down to N, and overlooking Lough Melvin. Collapsed stone field walls covering about 12 acres (c. 4ha) create small rectangular (dims c. 50m x c. 50m) or triangular fields centering on an enclosure (LE002-028002-). Five house-sites or hut-sites are within the fields.
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.
