H 0.6m; max. ext. H 1.6m at SW and NW) with intermittently visible facing-stones. The original entrance is not identified. See the attached aerial view taken from the E. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003).
