The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle SW-facing slope in a low-lying landscape. This is a grass-covered D-shaped earthen platform (dims 30.3m E-W; 20.8m N-S) defined by a scarp (at E: Wth 5.4m; H 0.6; at S: Wth 5m; H1m). There is no visible fosse or identifiable entrance, and the rath is truncated by an E-W field bank at N.
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.
