The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the crest of the E side of a steep-sided N-S valley on the S-facing slopes of Slieve Anierin. This is a grass and rush-covered oval area (int. dims 27.5m E-W; 22m N-S) defined by an overgrown earth and stone bank which is best preserved at NE (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.8m) but which is reduced to a scarp at S, and an external fosse (at N: Wth 2m; D 0.6m) W-E-S. A gravel road was laid over the surface NW-E-SE in 1999.
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.
