indicated as a circular feature defined by field banks on the 1943 ed. of the OS 6-ich map, it is situated on the N-facing slope of a prominent drumlin on the floor of the Bonet river valley. Grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 16m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 1m; H 1m) with a slight external fosse or drain (Wth 0.8m). 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.
