The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise in an undulating landscape. This is a subcircular platform (dims c. 30m WNW-ESE; c. 25m NNE-SSW) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth c. 2m; H c. 1m) and hedge E-S but largely by a scarp (H c. 1m) and hedge, with an outer fosse (Wth of top c. 4m; D c. 1m) NW-ESE (OSFM). The interior contains a rectangular, roofed building (int. dims 18m NW-SE; 4.8m NE-SW) which is described in italic lettering as a Roman Catholic Church and also as a School on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. The enclosure is now used as a haggard.
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.
