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. Five hut-sites are visible as subcircular grass-covered areas defined by the grass-covered remains of stone walls within field system (LE002-028001-). This hut-site is on the S side of a little ridge at the E edge of the field system. It is subcircular (ext. dims 9m NE-SW; 7.25m NW-SE; int. dims 7.1m NE-SW; 5.25m NW-SE) with no visible entrance.
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.
