The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a shelf on a NW-facing slope. This is a grass-covered D-shaped area (dims 30.3m NW-SE; 23.5m NE-SW) defined by a slight overgrown scarp (H 0.3-0.6m) NW-E with a fosse (Wth 5.3m; D 0.2m) NW-N, and an overgrown bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.5m) with fosse (Wth at base 3m; D 0.2m) E-SE. The monument is truncated at SW (L 21m) by a NW-SE field bank and drain. 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.
