The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the E end of a low E-W ridge. This is an overgrown circular or D-shaped area (dim c. 30m) defined by an earthen bank (at E: Wth 4-4.5m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.5m), external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of base 2-2.5m; D 0.5-1m) and outer bank (Wth 5m; ext. H 1-1.5m). The inner bank is reduced to a scarp (H 1.4m) at SE and is incorporated into a straight field bank (L c. 20m) at N. The original entrance is not identified.
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.
