The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the SE end of a NW-SE drumlin ridge. This is an overgrown circular platform (diam. 28m NE-SW) defined by a scrub-covered scarp (H 1.6-1.8m) and an overgrown external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of base 3-3.5m; D 0.8m). There is an overgrown outer bank (Wth 2m; ext. H 0.6m) NW-E-W which is disturbed by a field bank at W. There are entrances (Wth 3m) through both banks at SW.
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.
