The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the top of the S-facing slope at the S end of a NE-SW drumlin ridge. It was first identified by S. Curran from a LIDaR survey conducted for Leitrim County Council in advance of a proposed by-pass on the N4 around Carrick-on-Shannon. It is traceable as a circular or D-shaped grass-covered area (diam. c. 38m N-S; c. 35m E-W) defined by a slight bank (Wth 4-6m; H 0.1-0.3m) at N and E and by a slight scarp E-S (max. H 0.7m). There is no evidence of a fosse or entrance.
