The National Monuments Service's description
Depicted as a subcircular field only on the 1909 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, it is situated on a gentle N-facing slope on the floor of Glenade valley. It is clearly visible as a circular feature on aerial photograph (OSAP: 4/6675). This is a grass and rush-covered oval area (dims 58m N-S; 40m E-W) defined by a slight scarp and traces of an external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.3m). An original entrance is not identified and it may be a field.
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.
