The National Monuments Service's description
Located t the SW end of an ENE-WSW drumlin ridge. This is an overgrown circular area (int. diam. c. 30m) defined by traces of an earthen bank (at SW: Wth c. 5m; H c. 0.3m), and an external band of rushes which are visible at SW. The original entrance is not identified and field spoil has been added to the perimeter.
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.
