Located towards the top of the S and SW-facing slope of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 55.4m E-W; 55m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at N: Wth of base 4.2m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.2m) with an external fosse (at N: Wth of top 6.3m; Wth of base 3m; ext. D 0.5m) NW-NE. The bank morphs into an earthen field bank (Wth of base 2m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 2m) ENE-ESE with an outer drain NE-S. Elsewhere the bank has been reduced to a scarp (H 1.5-2m), and the fosse to a berm (Wth 3-5m) S-NW. 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.
