The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a SW-facing slope in a area of rock outcrop on the lower slopes of Dough Mountain and on the N side of Glenfarne valley. This is an overgrown oval area (int. dims 25m E-W; 16m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; H 0.4m) at N, which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.8m at S) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse and the original entrance is not identified. Rath (LE008-017----) is c. 130m to the SW and rath (LE008-019----) is c. 200m to the SE.
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.
