Situated on a low hill which backs on to a ravine at SE of the E-W Yellow River at a point where the stream turns S. The hill is amongst the W-facing foothills of Slieve Anierin. This is an overgrown D-shaped area (int. dims 28m NE-SW; 14.8m NW-SE) defined by a steep slope (H c. 15m) at the straight SE side and by a slight earthen bank (at NW: max. Wth 6.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1m) NW-E, which is reduced to a scarp (H 1.2-1.4m) SW-NW, and an external fosse (Wth of top 8.5-9m; Wth of base 3m; D 0.2-0.3m) NW-NE. The original entrance is not identified and was probably on the SE side which is now eroded away.
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.
