Located at the crest of the E-facing slope of a drumlin on the E shore of Lough Allen. It is not marked on the OS maps but is visible as a subcircular feature on aerial photographs (GSIAP: G 279-80). This is a grass and rush-covered circular platform (diam. 31m E-W; 29m N-S) defined by an overgrown scarp (H 0.5-0.7m) with a slight external fosse marked by a band of rushes (Wth 2m) NE-S-WSW, while a curved field bank defines the perimeter elsewhere. The entrance (Wth 3.3m) is at SE. The perimeter is overlain by a field wall SE-WSW.
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.
