The National Monuments Service's description
Located on top of a rise on the floor of the Glenade valley, and on the SW bank of the NW-SE Bonet River. This is a grass-covered subcircular of D-shaped area (int. dims 40.5m N-S; 34.5m E-W) defined by an earthen bank which is best preserved N-NE (Wth 1.6m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 2.2m) where there is an outer berm (Wth 3.4m), but the bank is reduced to a scarp (H 0.8m) elsewhere. The original entrance is not identified, and the perimeter is slightly truncated by a relict WNW-ESE field bank at S. The monument is circumscribed by the river N-E at a distance of 10-15m.
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.
