The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the W-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass-covered D-shaped platform (dims 34m E-W; 30m N-S; H 0.25m) defined by a curving band of rushes (Wth 2m) N-E-SW, while field banks, now removed, truncated the monument at S, W and N. It has been planted in coniferous trees since 1991 but much of it might remain in a N-S fire-break (Bing 2013). Rath (LE029-025----) is c. 110m to the E.
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.
