The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a knoll of the W-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass and rush-covered D-shaped area (dims 22m N-S; 14.7m E-W) defined by a slight scarp (H 0.2m), with slight traces of a fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.1m) at S. It is truncated by a N-S field bank and drain at W and an original entrance cannot be 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.
