The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of the plateau of Sheemore Hill. This is a grass-covered D-shaped area (int. dims 12.7m NE-SW; 10.7m NW-SE) defined by a collapsed and grass-covered stone wall spread (Wth c. 1m) and backing on to a NE-SW field wall of the field system (LE027-054005-) on the SE side. A hut site (LE027-054008-) is adjacent to the S.
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.
