Located in mixed woodland at the NW side of a cleft (dims c. 70m N-S; c. 20m E-W at N to c. 40m at S; D c. 20m) that is on the SW edge of the Dartry Mountains with a N-S stream c. 70m to the E emerging from a waterfall along the E side of the cleft. This is a rectangular area (int. dims 3m E-W; 1.2m N-S) defined by a drystone wall (Wth 0.4m; max. H 0.8m) on each side except the N where a cliff (H c. 5m) rises over it. It is known as a childrens burial ground (Faughnan 1943), but there is no evidence of grave-markers. The mass-rock (LE007-003001--) is c. 40m to the 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.
