Situated on the SW-facing slope of a low N-S drumlin ridge. This is an overgrown circular area (diam. c. 25-30m) defined by a slight bank and external fosse (at NW: Wth of top 4.5m; int. D 0.8m; ext. D 1.3m) which is partly recut. There is an entrance gap (Wth 1.3m) at SE (downslope). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J.
