Situated on a heather-covered limestone plateau that slopes down generally to the SE. Marked on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘fort’. This is an oval area (int. dims 41m NE-SW; 23m NW-SE) defined by a stone spread (Wth 1-1.5m) emerging from the bog. An entrance is not identified.
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.
