Situated in a low-lying, level landscape within Newtown Gore village. Depicted as a subcircular or D-shaped enclosure (diam. c. 35m) with what is described as a 'Corn Kiln' at its SW edge on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and as a large hachured D-shaped enclosure (ext. dims c. 60m N-S; c. 50m E-W) backing onto a NNE-SSW road at W on the revised 1944 edition of the map, again with a 'Corn Kiln' at its W edge. It may have been a corn-drying kiln in a quarry associated with a corn mill that was c. 100m to the NNE. The location is now occupied by two houses.
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.
