H 0.3m; ext. H 1.2m-1.4m) and an outer fosse or drain (Wth of base 0.9m at SW to 1.8m at SE; ext. D 0.1m at SE to 0.4m at SW). There is no identifiable entrance. It is probably a tree-ring,
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.
