Marked as a small circular feature described as a ‘fort’ on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as a hachured feature on the 1909 ed. It is situated near at the head of a small U-shaped valley overlooking Glenade valley to the E and NE with the headwaters of a small stream c. 100m to the SE. It is a circular area (diam. 26m E-W; 25m N-S) within a coniferous forest which is defined by the remains of an earthen bank best preserved NW-NE (Wth 5m; max. int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.5m), but reduced to an external scarp (min. H 0.3m at S, downslope) elsewhere. The bank is accompanied by traces of a fosse (Wth 4m) NW-NE and the entrance (Wth 2m) is evident as a dip in the perimeter at S.
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.
