The National Monuments Service's description
Located in the floodplain of Carrickslavan Lough, which is a turlough (diam. c. 300-400m). It is visible as an island in the turlough on aerial photographs (GSIAP: G 156-7). This is a grass-covered subcircular area (dims 20m x 16m; H 1.5m) composed of earth and stone, but with no visible evidence of artificial construction.
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.
