The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a rise on a S-facing slope of Glenade valley. It is visible as a circular feature on aerial photographs (OSAP: 5/6933-2). This is a circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 37m E-W; 36m N-S) defined by an earthen bank, which is best preserved NW-N (Wth c. 2m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.35m) but reduced to a scarp (H 0.5m) at SE. The original entrance is not identified. A NE-SW field bank overlies the monument towards the perimeter at N.
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.
