Located on top of a drumlin. This is a scrub-covered D-shaped mound (dims of base 11.2m N-S; 9.4m E-W; dims of top 9.9m E-W; 8.9m N-S; H 0.6-0.7m) defined by a shallow fosse (Wth of top 4-4.7m; ext. D 0.3-0.4m) NW-E-SW. Both the mound and fosse are truncated by a N-S field bank at W. 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.
