Located on a gentle W-facing slope. It is visible as a large circular feature on aerial photographs (OSAP: 4/1044-5). This is a grass-covered circular platform (diam. 84m N-S; 80m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.8m) with some bushes and a slight fosse (Wth 3m) at S, and by a scarp (H 0.5-1m) elsewhere. It is bisected by an old E-W trackway towards the perimeter at S.

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.
