The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a fold on a gentle S-facing slope with a NE-SW stream c. 100m to the SE. It is built into the W side of a drain, c. 50-100m from the sites of five houses. The roof is gone and the overgrown walls (int. diam. c. 1.2m; H c. 1m) are flush with the surrounding land. The entrance is not 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.
