The National Monuments Service's description
Situated towards the top of the S-facing slope of a drumlin. It is not depicted on any OS map, but a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) is visible on aerial photographs (OSAP: 4/1025-6). It is not visible at ground level in pasture and does not appear on other aerial images.
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.
