The National Monuments Service's description
Located just off the S end of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is a grass- and rush-covered circular earthen platform (diam. 39m E-W; 38.5m N-S; H 0.8m) defined by a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 4-6.5m; Wth of base 2.8-3.5m) and an outer bank (Wth 3.8-4.7m; int. H 1-1.7m; ext. H 0.3m) with a hedge. The fosse is recut as a field drain E-S and the bank is adapted as a field bank N-E. There are many gaps in the bank but an original entrance is not identified. It may be a ringfort.
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.
