Situated on top of a prominent drumlin. This is a grass and rush-covered subcircular area (int. dims 29m E-W; 26.5m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 4.2m; int. H 0.25m at NE to 0.6m at W; ext. H 2.15m) with an external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of base 3.9m; D 0.4m). 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).
