Situated on a low rise at the tip of a NE-SW spur which is on a SW-facing slope with NE-SW stream valleys c. 300m to the NW and c. 200m to the SE. This is a grass and rush-covered subcircular area (dims 30m E-W; 26.85m N-S; int. dims 25.6m E-W; 22.5m E-W) defined by a grass-covered earthen bank (Wth 3.5-5m; int. H 0.05m generally to 0.2m at E; ext. H 0.8-1.1m) separated by a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of base 1.5-2m) from an outer, flat-topped bank (Wth of base 3.3-5.5m; Wth of top 2m; int. H 0.4; ext. H 0.7-1.2m) which survives SW-N-ESE (max. ext. dims 46m E-W; 40m N-S). There is no identifiable original entrance and the monument is bisected by a N-S field bank and drain just E of the centre.
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.
