The National Monuments Service's description

Located within woodland on the parkland of Drumhierny Lodge that was c. 200m to the NNW. A circular copse (diam. c. 30m) is indicated on the 1835 and 1911 editions of OS 6-inch map. The parkland had been laid out by P. Latouche and was worthy of note (Lewis 1837, vol. 2, 214). No feature is visible at ground level in an overgrown area, although this location had been confused with (LE027-024011-) by Moore (2003, 146, No. 1163).

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.
