The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the crest of the E-facing slope of a plateau in the Owennayle river valley with the W-E Graffy River c. 100m to the S. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (int. diam. 31.5m N-S; 30m E-W) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 6.5m at N to 11m at E; int. H 0.2m at W to 0.9m at E) with evidence of the inner facing-stones, and an outer fosse (Wth of base 2m; D 0.3m at S to 1.1m at W). There is a revetted and paved entrance (Wth 2m) at E and intermittent traces of an outer bank 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.
