The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in an undulating landscape with rock outcrop. It was described in the 1830s as a small enclosure with a mound at its centre (OSNB, No. 83), and in 1944 as a small flat-topped platform (dims of top c. 7m E-W; c. 6m N-S; diam. of base c. 10m; H c. 1m) (OSFM). No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in the front garden of a house.
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.
