Located on the E-facing slope of a valley, which is on the NE-facing side of the Tullyskeherny plateau, with a SSW-NNE stream c. 20m to the E. This is a circular, grass-covered area (int. diam. 26m N-S; 24m E-W) which remains unplanted in a coniferous forest, defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.4m). There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. 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
