The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the crest of the SW-facing slope of a NW-SE ridge. This is a grass and rush-covered subcircular area (int. dims 24m NE-SW; 22m NW-SE) defined by an overgrown stone spread (Wth 1.5-2.5m; int. H 0.2m on SE (downslope) to 1m at NW; ext. H 0.1m at NW to 1m at SE). The facing-stones of a wall (Wth 1m) are visible at NE, but the perimeter is largely absent NE-E where the original entrance may have been.
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.
