Situated on top of a small drumlin. This is an overgrown circular area (int. diam. c. 30m) defined by an earthen bank (at SE: Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.4m) separated by a fosse (at SE: Wth of top 4m) from an outer bank (at SE: Wth 5.7m; int. H 1.7m; ext. H 0.7m) which has been levelled at N. The original entrance is not identified. 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
