The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a low-lying plateau with areas of rock outcrop. It is indicated only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as the site of a cashel. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. c. 18m; ext. diam. c. 30m) defined by slight traces of a stone wall with facing-stones.
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.
