Located on the NW-facing slope of Mong Hill. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 26m E-W; 23.5m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.6-5m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 0.8-1.45m) with some bushes E-S-NW, but reduced to a scarp (H 0.8m) elsewhere. There is an external fosse (Wth of base 1.9m; D 0.45m) E-S, represented elsewhere by a band of lush vegetation (Wth 2.35m), and the monument is circumscribed by a field bank S-NW. There are entrance gaps at ESE and SE.
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.
