The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on low-lying ground between drumlins which lie to the N and S. It is depicted as a small embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 25m) only on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This is an overgrown D-shaped area, amounting to the SE quadrant of a circle, defined by a scarp (H 3m) adjacent to a railway cutting (L 25m) at N, a stone wall (L 18m) at W and an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.4m) E-S.
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.
