The National Monuments Service's description
Located in pasture on top of a low rise between drumlins to the N and S. It is indicated as a D-shaped area truncated by a railway line at S only on the revised 1944 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and described in 1944 as a D-shaped platform (dims c. 35m E-W; c. 20m N-S) with the remnant of a bank on the W side (OSFM). No archaeological feature is visible at ground level, but was probably a rath.
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.
