What is recorded here
No visible entrance and no intact wall remain, only a shallow stone spread and a scarp that drops into the grass. The shape is still readable as a made circle, not a heap of rocks, which means someone chose that edge and lived inside it before the name was forgotten.
Situated on a slight rise of a plateau. This is an overgrown subcircular area (diam. c. 30m NE-SW) defined by a stone spread (at NE: Wth 3.5m) with facing-stones (at NE: Wth 1.8m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.8m), but the perimeter is reduced to a scarp down to the interior (H 0.4m) at W. The original 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.
