The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a gentle N-facing slope with a small SW-NE stream immediately circumventing it W-N. This is a grass-covered oval area (dims 35m E-W; 29m N-S) defined by the stream W-N and by a low scarp (H 0.4m) elsewhere. There are slight traces of a fosse at E and of a possible entrance (Wth 2.2m) at SE where the perimeter dips slightly.
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.
