The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise towards the top of the N-facing slope of a low hill. This is a grass and reed-covered subcircular area (dims 24m E-W; 21m N-S) defined by an eroded and intermittently visible earthen bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.1-0.3m; ext. H 1.2-1.4m) NE-S-W, which is reduced to a scarp (at N: H 1.7m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse, but the entrance (Wth 3.5m) is at WNW.
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.
