Located in an undulating low-lying landscape. This is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a 'fort'. This is a grass-covered subcircular area (diam. 28.5m NW-SE) defined by a low earthen bank (Wth 2m; H 0.2m) with some bushes NE-E, which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.35m) elsewhere, with an outer band of reeds (Wth 10m). The perimeter has been levelled at S and the spoil added to the interior at N. The interior also contains a long hollow (L 7m; Wth 1.8m; D 0.2m) which may be a collapsed souterrain although no stones are visible.
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.
