The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a low-lying position with a NE-SW stream c. 15m to the NW. Overgrown subcircular area (int. dims 21m N-S; 19.5m E-W) defined by the remains of a wall (Wth 2.8m; H 0.35m), surmounted by a field wall E-S-W. A rectangular drystone-built structure (dims 2.3m x 2.9m) is built against the inner face of the wall at S, but the original entrance to the enclosure 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.
