Situated in a low-lying landscape with an E-W portion of the Black River c. 10m to the S. It is depicted only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as ‘Toberearly’. This is now a small overgrown hollow (dims c. 1.8m x 1.5m) but no information relating to its use is forthcoming,
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.
