Located on a spur of high ground jutting W from a drumlin. This is an overgrown circular area (dims 36m E-W; 33.3m N-S; int. diam. 33.5m E-W; 32.5m N-S) defined by an earth and stone bank (at E: Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1m) NW-E-SE which is reduced to a scarp (at S: H 0.8m) elsewhere, and a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 3.7-5m; Wth of base 2-3m; D 0.3-0.6m) N-E-SW. There is stone-revetting on the inside of the bank at N and the stone-lined entrance (Wth 1.4m) at NE has been misinterpreted as a megalithic structure on the OS 6-inch map of 1910 and by Richardson and Lowry-Corry (1940, 176-7). The bank is surmounted by a field wall SW-N-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.
