Located on a NW-facing slope in an undulating landscape. This is a grass and rush-covered subcircular area (int. dims. 29m N-S; 22m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 3.45m; int. H 0.35-0.45m; ext. H 1.6-2.15m), which is reduced to a scarp (H 1.7m) at NE, and an outer fosse (Wth 4m; ext. D 1.4m) which has been destroyed at NE by a trackway and at SW by a NW-SE field bank. There are traces of an outer bank surviving at SE (Wth 2m; ext. H 0.2m) and NW. A hollow (L 11m; Wth 5.5m; D 0.85m) in the NW quadrant may be a collapsed souterrain, although no stones are visible.
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.
