Located towards the top of the steep E-facing slope of a drumlin. This is an overgrown circular area (diam. c. 31m N-S; c. 28m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (at NW: Wth of base 5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1m) separated by a round-bottomed fosse (at NW: Wth of base 2.5m; ext. D 1.2m) from an outer bank (at NW: Wth of base 4.5m; ext. H 1.2m). The original entrance is not identified. Archaeological testing (04E1133) c. 100m to the E at the nearest point produced no related material (Read 2007). 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 15 October 2019
