Situated on the summit of Blast Hill. This is a grass and rush-covered subcircular area (int. dims 19.3m NW-SE; 17.4m NE-SW) defined by a grass-covered earthen bank (Wth 4.5-5.5m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.8-1.2m) which is separated by a rush-growing fosse (Wth of base 2.5-3m; D 0.2-0.7m) from an outer grass-covered earthen bank (Wth 6.8-8.5m; ext. H 1.5-1.6m). There is no identifiable original entrance. The monument is circumscribed by field walls which partly truncate the outer bank at NW, and it has a maximum external diam. of 49m.
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.
