The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low-lying landscape on a flat rocky platform in rough scrub. It is depicted as a small subcircular field on the 1835 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. This is a grass and scrub-covered circular area (diam. 20m) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 1m; H 0.25m) with no visible entrance.
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.
