Situated on a slight rise in a low-lying landscape. This is a grass and scrub-covered circular area (diam. 31.5m E-W; 32.3m N-S; int. diam. 30m E-W; 29.5m N-S) defined by a grass and scrub-covered earthen bank (Wth 5-6.5m; int. H 0.4m; max. ext. H 1.7m) N-E-S, which is reduced to a scarp (at W: H 1.2m) elsewhere, and an external fosse (Wth of top 6.2-7m; Wth of base 2.5-3m; D 0.4-0.5m) NW-S. There is a widened entrance (Wth 9m) at S, and a local tradition of a souterrain c. 150m outside the monument at S.
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.
