The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the summit of a drumlin. This is a grass and rush-covered D-shaped area (dims 30m N-S; 29m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 4-5m; int. H 0.3-0.7m; ext. H 0.6-1.1m), with traces of internal stone facing at SE. The bank has been removed SSW-WSW. The entrance (Wth 2m) is at E but there is no visible fosse. The monument is slightly truncated by a NE-SW field bank and drain at N.
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.
