The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only as a hachured arc (L c. 40m E-W) curving slightly to the N only on the 1945 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated in a fold in an undulating landscape on the floor of the Glenade valley. A curving bank (C 48m; dims at N: Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.9m) with an outer fosse suggested by lush growth survives NW-NE and is probably the remains of a rath that is now a D-shaped area (dims c. 40m E-W; c. 30m N-S) truncated by a NNW-SSE field bank at E and an ENE-WSW field bank and hedges 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.
