The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise on the NW-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass and rush-covered subrectangular area (int. dims 24.4m NE-SW; c. 23m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank N-E (Wth 8.4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.2m) and S-W (Wth 2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.6m). The monument is truncated by a NE-SW field bank and drain at NW, but there is no evidence of the perimeter at SE. There is no visible fosse or original entrance but the monument is a rath.
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.
