The National Monuments Service's description

Marked only on the 1943 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as an arc of a bank (C c. 35m NW-SE). It is situated in a low-lying area on the floor of the Bonet river valley with the E-W meandering course of the Skeanada River, a tributary of the Bonet, c. 170m to the S. No feature is visible at ground level and the area is now occupied by a house and garden, which will have removed any traces of an antiquity.

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.

Date of revision: 13 December 2011
