The National Monuments Service's description
Depicted as a rectangular embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 20m x c. 20m) described as a 'Fort' in gothic lettering on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch, and as a subcircular area on the 1943 ed. It is situated on top of an overgrown area of rock outcrop. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 18m) defined by a drystone wall.
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.
