Indicated as a circular feature (diam. c. 35m) only on the 1910 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is located in pasture on a SW-facing slope on the lower slopes of Dough Mountain and on the N side of Glenfarne valley. This is a flat, oval and grass-covered area (dims c. 30m E-W; c. 20m N-S) with a slight outward curve in the field bank at W. Cashel (LE008-016----) is c. 100m to the NW and rath (LE008-018----) is c. 130m to the NE.
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.
