The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a subcircular feature (diam. c. 30m) on the 1835 and 1909 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a hillock on the floor of the Glenade valley, with the S-N Duff River c. 15m to the W. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims c. 40m N-S; c. 25m E-W) defined by a scarp (max. H c. 2m at W). There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance and the interior is overlain by a NE-SW field bank towards the perimeter at S.
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.
