What is recorded here

On a knoll in a coniferous forest and overlooking a small turlough (diam. c. 100m) c. 100m to the NW, which is in Co. Sligo. Circular platform (diam. 29m NW-SE; 27m NE-SW) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3m; H 0.6m) intermittently visible E-S and a natural scarp S-N. The perimeter has been removed N-E. 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. Date of upload: 23 September 2008

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
