Located on a knoll in an undulating landscape c. 650m from the S shore of Lough Melvin. A fragment of a wall-footing (Wth 1.3m; H 0.2m-0.4m) survives N-SSE (Chord c. 15m) at the summit of a rush-covered area from what was known locally as a fort, but the perimeter cannot be traced elsewhere. Archaeological testing (18E0535) for a water-pipe on the farm-lane immediately to the W demonstrated that the road had been excavated into the subsoil and there were no archaeological features remaining (Halpin 2018).
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.
