The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the E-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (diam. 32m NNW-SSE) defined by an intermittently visible and overgrown earthen bank (Wth 5-7m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.65m) and an external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of base 2-3m; D 0.25m). The monument is bisected by a NW-SE field bank and ditch. The original entrance is not identified.
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.
