The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a gentle S-facing slope on the demesne of Drumrahan and c. 200m NW of the house. This feature is indicated as a small circular feature on the 1835 and 1945 editions of the OS 6-inch map. It is an overgrown circular area (int. diam. 7.5m E-W; 7m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.1m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1.1m) N-E and by a scarp (H 0.5m) elsewhere, with a slight external fosse (Wth of base 0.9m; D 0.1m at S to 0.5m at N). It is a possible tree-ring.
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.
