The National Monuments Service's description
Located in pasture on top of a prominent drumlin. It is depicted faintly as a small circular feature (diam. c. 20m) on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map and it is not known what was intended. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level close to where four field banks meet.
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.
