The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight N-S ridge in the valley of the N-S Owennayle River. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (diam. 27m N-S; 26.5m E-W; int. diam. 26.5m E-W; 26.3m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2-4m; int. H 0.2-0.4m; ext. H 0.6-1m) W-N-SE, which is incorporated into a field bank E-SE and reduced to a scarp (H 0.4m) elsewhere. An outer flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of base 2m; max. D 0.2m) is intermittently represented by a band of rushes, but the original entrance is not identified.
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.
