The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on flat, rush-covered and low-lying ground at the base of the S-facing slope of a drumlin. It is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a fort. No feature is visible at ground level in improved pasture.
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.
