Situated on top of a low rise in a valley bottom with small N-S streams c. 80m to the W and c. 70m to the SE. This is an overgrown ircular area (diam. c. 25m) defined by an earthen bank (at N: Wth 5.5m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.7m) and an external fosse (at N: Wth of base 3m; D 0.9m). There is an entrance (Wth 4m) and causeway (Wth 5.5m) at SW. 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
