The National Monuments Service's description
Located in rough pasture on a slight E-W ridge of a general SW-facing slope at the N shore of Lough Allen. It is indicated as a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 25m N-S; c. 20m E-W) with a straight edge at N and described as a 'fort' in gothic lettering on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is depicted as a circular hachured feature (diam. c. 20-25m) on the 1907 edition. No feature is visible at ground level.
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.
