Located at the crest of the SE-facing slope of a small drumlin. It is described as Lisroderry fort, from Lios Ridere - the knignt's fort - in gothic lettering on the 1835 and 1911 editions of the OS 6-inch map (OSNB, No. 84, 267). This is a grass and scrub-covered circular area (diam. c. 35m) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at N: Wth 5m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.6m) and slight traces of an external fosse (at N: Wth 2-3m). 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.
