Located on top of an E-W ridge on the floor of Glencar valley. Circular area (diam. c. 35m E-W; c. 32m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.45m) separated by a fosse (Wth of base 2.5m) from an outer bank (Wth 3m; int. H 1.25m; ext. H 1.3m). These features survive only E-S, the inner bank being reduced to a slight scarp (max. H 0.4m) elsewhere. The original entrance is not identified. The monument is overlain by a N-S field bank and an E-W field wall extends E from this. The SE quadrant is overgrown but the rest is grass-covered.
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.
