The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed pasture beside a small N-S stream on the N shore of Glencar Lough. Indicated as a small embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 25m) described in gothic lettering as a ‘Fort’ on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is not visible at ground level, but it is described locally as a cashel, the stones of which were used in building field walls.
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.
