Located on top of a drumlin. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 42.5m N-S; 41.5m E-W) defined by a steep-sided, round-topped, overgrown, earthen bank (max. Wth 6m; int. H 0.25-0.55m; ext. H 1.55m generally to 2.25m at NNW) separated by a water-logged fosse (Wth of base 3.1m) from an overgrown outer bank (Wth 4m; H 1m). There is a rectangular enclosure (dims 9m x 7m) defined by earthen banks (Wth 0.8m; H 0.1m) in the interior 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.
