The National Monuments Service's description
Reputedly Leitrim castle belonged to the O'Flanagans (O'Flanagan 1931, vol. 1, 51), and it is situated on a gentle N-facing slope of a WNW-ESE ridge with rock outcrop. Within the bawn (RO035-019002-) are the foundations of a rectangular house (int. dims 9.3m E-W; 5.3m N-S) defined by a stone spread (Wth 1m; H 0.1-0.25m) with an entrance (Wth 1.3m) on the E side. A second house site (RO035-019004-) is just to the W.
