Located on a slight E-W ridge on the lower S-facing slope of Dough Mountain with a NE-SW section of a mountain stream c. 70m to the NW. It is described as ‘Lissinagroagh’ in gothic lettering on the 1910 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. This is an overgrown subcircular area (int. dims 17.7m E-W; 15.4m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5-6m; int. H 0.2-0.8m; ext. H 1.5-3m) with an outer fosse (Wth of base 2-3m; ext. D 0.5-1.2m), which is partly rock-cut at E, but defined by an external bank (Wth 5-6m; max. ext. H 1.8m) SE-W. The external bank is not completed elsewhere. There is an entrance (Wth 2m) through the inner bank at NE and the souterrain (LE008-023002-) is in the NE part of the interior.
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.
