The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a level plateau in a low-lying landscape of rough pasture with a S-N stream c. 100m to the W. A small circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 20-25m) is indicated on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. No feature is visible at ground level in an area that appears never to have been reclaimed. It is now planted within a forest (Bing 2013).
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.
