The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated as a large circular enclosure (diam. c. 60m), forming the townland boundaries with Munnakill SE-SW and Lissinagroagh SW-NW only on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated on a W-facing slope in an undulating landscape with rock outcrop and mixed woodland. There is no visible surface evidence of the enclosure, but there was a souterrain (LE012-008002-) 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.
