Located on top of a small E-W drumlin ridge. This is a grass-covered subcircular area (dims 35m E-W; 31.6m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.9m at S to 1.5m at N), with traces of a fosse (Wth of top 6m; D 0.1m) at E and a berm (Wth 3.5-5m) elsewhere. The original entrance is not identified, although there is a dip in the perimeter (Wth c. 8m) at S, and there is a shallow hollow (diam. 8-9m; D 0.3m) in the NE quadrant. New houses and their service road are c. 10m outside the perimeter of the monument E-S-SW, but archaeological testing (03E0148) prior to their construction produced no related material (Timoney 2006).
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.
