The National Monuments Service's description
Located in rough pasture at the crest of the E-facing slope of a WNW-ESE 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. 22m N-S; 20m E-W) defined by a low earthen bank (at NW: Wth of base 5.6m; Wth of top 1.7m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.3m) with traces of an outer fosse (at NW: Wth of top 4.8m; Wth of base 1.5m; D 0.15m) SSW-W-NNW, but the bank peters out until it is barely traceable NNW-E-SSW. There is no visible entrance. Rath (RO012-005----) is c. 100m to the SW.
