Located at the W edge of a fairly level shelf on the valley floor of the Bonet River, with a N-S section of the stream c. 130m to the W. This is a grass-covered flat-topped mound (dims of top 6m N-S; 9.5m E-W; dims of base 14m N-S; 12m E-W; H 0.2m E-S to 0.6m at W) defined by a shallow fosse (Wth of top 6-11m; Wth of base 3.5-9m; ext. D 0.4-0.8m) and an outer bank (Wth 1.5-2m; ext. H 0.2m) NE-S-W. In places the bank is separated from the fosse by a slight berm, but an entrance through the bank has not been identified. The NW part of the monument has been disturbed by an old quarry which has left a grass-covered scarp (H 1.5m) at this side, and the perimeter is missing W-NE (max. ext. dims 33m N-S; 28m ENE-WSW).
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.
