The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise towards the bottom of a S-facing slope in an area of rock outcrop. Grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 33m E-W; 32m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.8m at W and E to 4.4m at N; ext. H 0.5-0.8m at W and E to 1.65m at N) with some bushes and the bank is revetted by a stone-facing at N but reduced to a scarp (H 2m) at S. There is an entrance (Wth 3.1m) which may be original at 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.
