Located at the bottom of a W-facing slope in a coniferous forest. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 28m E-W; 27m N-S) which remains unplanted defined by a stone spread (Wth 1.7-3m; max. H 1m) with the intermittently visible facing-stones of a wall (at S: Wth 2m). There is a possible entrance (Wth 1.8m) at SE, and a rectangular house site (int. dims 7.3m x 1.7m) is attached to the outer face of the perimeter at NE. The material of the perimeter has been robbed ESE-SE and accumulated as a cairn against the inner face of the wall SE-S. A collapsed souterrain is visible at the centre as a sunken area (dims. 4m x 2m) with some stone defining its edge.
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.
