Located towards the SW end of a NE-SW drumlin ridge on the floor of the NE-SW Bonet river valley close to its SE edge. This is a grass-covered subcircular area (int. dims 30m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 2-3.5m; int. H 0.3-1m; ext. H 0.5-1.2m), with an outer fosse (Wth of base 2m; D 0.2m) SE-NW. There are modern entrances at WSW (Wth 1.8m) and NW. An outer fosse or ditch c. 10-15m outside the bank is visible on aerial photographs (GSIAP: G 356-7), separated from the central enclosure by a berm (max. ext. dim. c. 80m), but the outer feature is not visible at ground level. Cashel (LE011-095----) is c. 50m to the SE.
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.
