Located on a S-facing slope c. 25m N of an E-W section of the Owenmore River at the W end of the Glenfarne valley. This is a circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 31.5m E-W; 29m N-S) defined by a steep-sided, round-topped earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.2-0.7m; ext. H 0.5-1.5m) with some bushes, which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.4m) at N. There are slight traces of a fosse (Wth 3m) at NW, but the original entrance is not identified. There is a rectangular house site (int. dims 10.5m x 4.9m) defined by a grass-covered wall foundation (Wth 1.3m; max. H 0.45m) in the interior against the bank at 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.
