The National Monuments Service's description
Located just off the crest at the N end of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 48m N-S; 47m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at N: Wth of base 3.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.2m) with an external fosse (Wth of base 1m; ext. D 1m) which can only be seen N-NE, while the bank is reduced to a scarp (at E: Wth 5.9m; H 1m) NE-SE. The perimeter is overgrown elsewhere, and the original entrance is not identified.
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.
