The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a natural rise in a low-lying position on the floor of Glenfarne valley, with a small stream curving around it S-W-NW c. 45-100m distant, joining a SW-NW section of the Glenfarne stream NW-N. This is a grass and reed-covered circular area (int. diam. 34.4m NE-SW) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 4.8m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1m at N to 1.4m at W) with some bushes and an external fosse (Wth 4.5m; D 0.5-0.6m), both of which survive S-W-N, but the perimeter is untraceable elsewhere. It is surrounded by a field wall S-W-NE.
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.
