The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in improved pasture on a platform that rises slightly from a NW-facing slope. It was first identified by Susan Curran as part of an M.A. thesis with University College Dublin using a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the National Roads Authority. This is a D-shaped area (dims. 23m NW-SE; 20m NE-SW) defined by a slight scarp (at S: Wth 1.3m; H 0.15m) with traces of a fosse (at S: Wth of top 4.6m; Wth of base Wth 1.8m; D 0.1m) ESE-W-N. The perimeter is truncated at ENE by the tree-lined raised carriageway (H c. 4-5m) of the NNW-SSE N4 road. There is no visible fosse or entrance.
