The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the bottom of a NW-facing slope and built into a field wall just to E of a farmhouse. It is marked only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. The top is missing and the entrance at NE is destroyed, but the interior (int. diam. 1.2m; H 1m) is visible.
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.
