Located at the N-facing crest of a small drumlin. This is depicted on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map and on the 1945 revision as a small hachured feature. It is a grass-covered, circular, flat-topped mound (dims of base 15.8m N-S; 14.4m E-W; dims of top 5.7m E-W; 5.5m N-S; H 1.4-1.6m) which has been planted with trees around the base and at the centre. See the attached view taken from the NE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003).
