The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a low-lying position amongst low drumlins. It is depicted as a curved hachured feature (C c. 30m) that might be the W edge of an enclosure only on the 1911 edition of the OS 6-inch map. An overgrown curving scarp (C 25m; H 0.8m) may be the remains of the N part of an enclosure, but the rest of the perimeter is not discernible.
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.
