The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a S-facing slope within view of the fortified house (LE014-008---) and the 19th-century Dromahaire Lodge, which are c. 660m to the NW. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 13.8m N-S; 14.4m E-W) defined by a slight overgrown bank (Wth 2-2.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.5-0.7m) NNW-ESE and by an overgrown scarp (H 0.3m) elsewhere, with slight traces of an external fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.1m) at W. It is a possible tree-ring.
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.
