Situated on the gentle N-facing slope of a hill with a small S-N stream c. 40m to the E. This is a grass and rush-covered oval platform (dims 46.5m N-S; 38.7m E-W; H 1.5m at W to 2.8m at N) defined by an overgrown fosse (Wth of top 4.5-5.2m; Wth. of base 2-2.5m; D 1.4-1.6m). There is a modern entrance (Wth 2.4m) and causeway (Wth 2.8m) at SE, and the monument is circumscribed by a field bank and hedge S-W-NE. 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: 23 September 2008
