The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a gentle rise towards the bottom of a S-facing slope with a NE-SW section of a small stream c. 30m to the SE. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 40m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 8m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 2.15m) which is reduced to a scarp SSE-W, and a V-shaped external fosse (Wth 4.2m; D 0.6m) W-N-SE. 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.
