The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a prominent drumlin. This is a grass, rush and scrub-covered and slightly domed circular area (diam. 25m) defined by a fosse (Wth of base 2m at N to 4m at S; D below interior 0.6m generally to 0.8m at S) and an outer bank (at NNE: Wth 5m; ext. H 0.2m) which is incorporated into a field bank and hedge E-S. The monument is bisected by a NW-SE field bank.
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.
