The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the top of the E-facing slope of a drumlin. This is an overgrown circular area (int. diam. c. 25m) defined by an earthen bank (at NNE: Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.9m) separated by a fosse (at NNE: Wth 3.4m; D 0.6m at NNE) from an outer bank (at NNE: Wth 4.1m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.15m). A band of rushes (Wth 3m) outside the outer bank suggests a second, outer, fosse, but the original entrance is not identified. Archaeological testing (04E0303) c. 30m to the SW at the closest point produced no related material (Read 2007).
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.
