The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the SW tip of a NE-SW spur of locally high ground in reclaimed pasture. It is indicated as a large circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 30m NE-SW; c. 25m NW-SE) open to the NE and described in gothic lettering as 'Thurnaun' on the 1907 edition. No feature is visible at ground level, apart from a steep natural scarp S-W.
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.
