The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a SE-facing slope, overlooking the point c. 70m to the SE where a small E-W stream turns SE before entering a bay at the E end of Lough Gill c. 400m to the SSE. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 32m N-S; 30m E-W) defined by a stone spread (Wth c. 2m; int. H 0.2-0.3m; ext. H 0.6m) and hedge, which is reduced to a scarp at SE. There are slight traces of a fosse at SE and S, but an 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.
