What is recorded here
Located on top of a drumlin with wide views over Lough Gardice NE-SW, although the view is more restricted in other directions. This is a circular grass and rush-covered area (int. diam. 88.8m E-W; 87.5m N-S) defined by a hedge-covered earthen bank (at E: Wth 4m; int. H 0.6m-0.9m; ext. H 1.6m-1.8m) and an outer drain (at E: Wth of base 1m; ext. D 0.6m-0.8m) NE-S-NNW, but the perimeter is reduced to a scarp (H 0.2m) elsewhere. There is a modern entrance (Wth 5.5m) at SE.
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.
