The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the S-facing slope of a drumlin. A circular enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) described as a ‘Fort’ is depicted on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map and it is represented as a hachured feature on the 1907 edition. Farm sheds were built on it c. 1970, and no archaeological feature is visible at ground level, but it was probably a rath.
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.
