The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a the S end of a small NW-SE drumlin. It is described as 'Lisdromarea' in gothic lettering on the 1911 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is a grass-covered D-shaped area (int. dims 29m N-S; 22m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 4.1m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.6m) and a slight external fosse (Wth 2.1m; D 0.2m). The monument is truncated by a N-S road bank at W and is overlain by an E-W field bank towards the perimeter at S. The original entrance is not identified.
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.
