The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise on the floor of the NE-SW Bonet River valley, with the stream c. 160m to the ESE at a point where it turns from a NE-SW course to NW-SE. This is a grass-covered oval platform (dims 38m N-S; 30.5m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1.25m) with bushes, and a short section of earthen bank (L 8m; Wth c. 2m; int. H 0.6m) at NNE. There is no visible fosse and 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.
