The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight E-W ridge. Indicated as a large circular enclosure (diam. c. 45m) only on the 1910 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and visible as a circular enclosure on aerial photographs (GSIAP: G 358-9). The enclosure is not visible at ground level but it probably survives as a slight feature. The souterrain site (LE012-003002-) is in the interior.
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.
