Marked as a small circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 25m) on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘Fort’ in gothic lettering. It is located in a low-lying position with a small N-S stream c. 10m to the E and c. 110m from where the stream enters a NE-SW section of the Owenmore River. This is an overgrown oval platform (dims c. 20m E-W; c. 15m N-S) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 3m; H 0.5m) at S, which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.2m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse and an original entrance is not identified.
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.
