The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a low E-W drumlin ridge. This is a grass and rush-covered D-shaped area (dims 28m E-W; 24m N-S; int. dims 23m E-W; 20.6m N-S) defined by a grass-covered earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.6m at W to 1.2m at S) with some bushes. The entrance (Wth 4.5m) is at SSE but there is no clear evidence of a fosse. The monument is truncated by an E-W field bank at N (L 23m). A bullaun stone (LE015-135002-) is set in the ground c. 4 E of the perimeter at E.
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.
