Located on top of a drumlin. This is a subcircular or oval area (int. dims 42m E-W; 35m N-S) defined by a steep-sided earthen bank (Wth 4.2m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 1.35m) and external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of base 3m; D 0.2m) N-E-S. Elsewhere the bank is reduced to a scarp (H 0.5-0.7m), and the fosse to a band of lush vegetation (Wth 3-5m) S-W-NE. There is an entrance (Wth 3.8m) and causeway at E. The monument is overlain by a NE-SW field bank and planted with coniferous trees to NW of this feature, while it is covered in grass and rushes to the 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.
