The National Monuments Service's description

Situated in the valley between Leean Mountain c. 400m to the NW and Fawnarry ridge c. 400m to the SE, on the W bank of a N-S stream close to its source. This is a stone-lined sunken mill-race (dims 21.4m NNE-SSW; 3.75-4.3m WNW-ESE; max. D 1m) which had silted up and been partly cleared to allow the stream flow through with spoil mounds to E and W. A leat, now silted up, by-passes the race on the E side. There is no evidence of any mill buildings.

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.
