The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the summit of a small hillock. This is an overgrown oval area (int. dims c. 35m NW-SE; 22m SW-NE) defined by an earthen bank which is best preserved at W (Wth 3.1m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.1m). An outer bank (Wth 3.1m; L 20m; H 0.3m) is separated from the inner by a berm (Wth 11m) at WSW (downslope), and there are traces of an outer scarp at N. The original entrance is not identified.
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.
