The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a drumlin. This is a grass and rush-covered D-shaped area (dims 43.5m N-S; 40m E-W) defined by a scarp (max. H 0.5m) and an external fosse (Wth of base 2m; D 0.1m) SW-N-NE. The monument is truncated by a N-S field bank at E but a field bank and hedge circumscribes the perimeter at S. 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.
