Situated on level ground within Dowra village with a N-S section of the River Shannon c. 30m to the W. It is indicated as a D-shaped enclosure (dim. c. 25m) on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a 'fort'. It is not visible at ground level under housing.
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.
