The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low-lying landscape between drumlins and c. 35m NW of a NE-SW section of the Ballinamore and Ballyconnell canal. This is an overgrown circular area (diam. c. 44m N-S; c. 41m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 2-3m; ext. H 0.8m), which is incorporated into a field bank E-S, and with an external flat-bottomed fosse visible at NNW and SW (Wth 3m; D 0.35m).
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.
