The National Monuments Service's description
Situated towards the top of the S-facing slope of a low drumlin. This is an overgrown circular or D-shaped area (dims c. 25m N-S; c. 20m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (at SE: Wth of base 2.2m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.75m) which is frequently reduced to a scarp, and an external fosse (at SE: Wth of base 1.5m; D 0.2m) E-S. Field banks are attached to the perimeter at N and S, and 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.
