Situated on an E-facing slope in an undulating landscape at the W foot of Sheemore Hill. This is an overgrown circular area (int. diam. c. 25m) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3m; H 0.5-1m) (Farrelly 1989, vol. 2, 68), which is largely obscured by field spoil.
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.
