The National Monuments Service's description
Located at the W end of a prominent ENE-WSW drumlin ridge. This is a circular earthen platform (diam. c. 26m NE-SW; H 0.5m at S to 1m at W) which slopes down to E and is defined by a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 4-5.4m; Wth of base 1.4-2.4m) and an outer bank (Wth 2-2.7m; int. H 0.7m at E to 1.5m at W; ext. H 0.2m at W to 0.6m at S). There is no visible entrance, and the SW half of the monument is overgrown while the rest is covered in grass and rushes. It may be a ringfort.
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.
