The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated as a small fort on the 1835 edi. of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated on top of a hill on the floor of Glenfarne valley with sections of the SW-NE Glenfarne River c. 200-300m to the W and N. This is a scrub-covered D-shaped area (dims 16m NE-SW; 10m N-S) defined by a stone spread (Wth 1m; H 0.8m) and truncated by a field bank at S where slight undulations suggest it may once have extended. Sweat house (LE013-008----) is adjacent to the W.
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.
