The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise on top of a low hill with higher drumlins around it. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 9m; ext. diam. 20m) defined by a low, flat-topped, grass-covered stone spread (Wth 4.4-6m; H 0.2-0.4m), with an entrance (Wth 3.5m) at SE. The ring-cairn (LE028-003----) is c. 100m to the NE, while the stones (LE028-004----) and cairn (LE028-002----) are c. 60m to the NW and c. 85m to the NNE respectively.
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.
