The National Monuments Service's description
Located in a low-lying position beside a small, meandering N-S stream. This is a grass-covered oval area (int. dims 48m N-S; 34m E-W) defined by interrupted sections of a grass-covered earthen bank (at SSE: Wth 2m; H 0.2m) and an external fosse represented by a band of lush vegetation (at SSE: Wth 2.5m). The original entrance is not identified, and the perimeter is eroded by the stream at SW.
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.
