Located in an undulating, low-lying landscape at the E edge of the valley of the NNE-SSW Owenbeg River, with the stream c. 800m to the W. This is a circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 32m N-S; 30.5m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at N: Wth 3.9m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 1.24m) N-E-S which is reduced to an overgrown scarp (H 0.45-0.65m) elsewhere. An outer fosse is indicated by a band of lush vegetation N-S-W, while an old NE-SW stream or drain is outside the perimeter at NW. The original entrance is not identified, but there are old quarry-holes in the interior W-NW.
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.
