Located beside a small N-S section of a stream on an E-facing slope overlooking Lough Allen. This is a grass- and scrub-covered oval flat-topped earthen platform (dims 15m N-S; 11.5m E-W; H 0.2m to 1.8m at S, downslope) with slight traces of an external fosse. 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. Date of upload/revision: 13 December 2011
