The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the bottom of the steep SW-facing slope of a drumlin on the E side of Lough Allen. This is indicated as an enclosure defined by field banks only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is a grass-covered subcircular area (dims 32m NW-SE; 28.5m NE-SW) defined by a stone spread (Wth 4.5m) NW-NE, which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.5m) elsewhere. There is a modern entrance (Wth 1.7m) at W but no indication of an original entrance, or of a fosse. It may have been a cashel.
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.
