The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a coniferous forest in a low-lying position close to the S shore of the south part of St John's Lough. It is depicted as a circular fort (ext. diam. c. 30m) on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level.
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.
