The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the E end of a small E-W drumlin ridge. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (int. diam. 27m N-S; 27m E-W) defined by an overgrown earth and stone bank which is best preserved at W (Wth 4m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1m). The bank is replaced by a field wall (Wth 1.5m) E-S which is now reduced to its foundations. There are entrances at S (Wth 2m) and WNW (Wth 2.3m).
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.
