The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the summit of a low rise at the N edge of the Glencar valley, and at the base of a steep S-facing slope. Circular, grass-covered area (diam. c. 30m) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3-4m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.5m) SE-W-NW, which is reduced to a slight scarp elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance.
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.
