The National Monuments Service's description
Located in pasture towards the top of a SE-facing slope at the S end of a N-S drumlin ridge. The monument is indicated as a small D-shaped area (diam. c. 25m) only on the 1911 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is described locally as a fort with a ring of bushes which was removed c. 1950. No archaeological feature is visible in pasture at ground level.
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.
