The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in improved pasture on a slight SE-facing slope with a loop of a W-E section of the River Shannon within 300-400m ESE-W. It was first identified by Susan Curran as part of an M.A. thesis with University College Dublin using a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the National Roads Authority. This is a subcircular area (diam. 27m E-W; 25m N-S) defined by a slight scarp (at SE: Wth 4.0m; H 0.55m) NE-S-WNW, and a possible fosse (Wth c. 5.0m; D 0.05m) is traceable WNW-N-NE. There is no identifiable entrance.
