Located at the W edge of the Tullyskeherny plateau, overlooking the NE-SW Bonet River valley. Grass-covered oval area (int. dims 13.4m NE-SW; 8m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2-3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.6m), with an external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of base 0.9m; D 0.3m) NW-E-SW. The bank is reduced to a scarp and the fosse is absent SW-NW where there is a steep natural slope. The booley hut (LE011-066002-) is c. 50m to the NE. 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
