The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a NW-SE drumlin ridge towards the SE end. This is an overgrown circular area (int. diam. 23.5m NW-SE; diam. 28m crest to crests) defined by a slight earth and stone bank (Wth 4-5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.4-0.8m). There is a stone-lined entrance (Wth 1.5m) 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.
