The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in improved, undulating pasture, near the top of a small NE-SW drumlin ridge. 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 circular grass-covered area (diam. 24m NW-SE; 22m NE-SW) defined by a slight scarp (at E: Wth 2.8m; H 0.4m) NNE-S, which is barely traceable WSW-NNE. The perimeter is truncated by a NW-SE field bank at SW and cannot be traced S-WSW.
