The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a W-E spur with in the valley of a small W-E stream which is c. 120m to the S, and overlooking Lough Glenade. This is a subcircular grass-covered area (dims 20.5m E-W; 18m N-S) defined by a scarp (max. H 0.25m at NE to 0.5m generally). There is no visible fosse or entrance and the interior is bisected by a NW-SE farm track.
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.
