Situated on a S-facing slope. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 46.5m N-S; 46.5m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 4-6.5m; int. H 0.6-1.6m; ext. H 1.2-1.7m) NW-E-SE, which is incorporated into a field bank WSW-NW and reduced to a scarp (H 1.4m) SE-WSW (downslope). There is no visible fosse, although there is an outer drain (Wth of base 1m; ext. D 0.6m) E-S. The entrance (Wth of base 2.8m) at SE is probably modern in its present iteration. At the centre is a slightly raised subcircular platform (dims of top 21m N-S; 18m E-W) defined by a slight scarp (H 0.2 at E to 0.6m at W) which melds into the ground surface NW-NE.
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.
