Located on flat ground on a gentle S-facing slope. It is not depicted on any OS map but it is visible as a circular feature on aerial photographs (GSIAP: G 151-2; OS 4/1042-3) and some later series. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (int. diam. 41m NW-SE) defined by a grass-covered earthen bank (Wth of base 3m at W to 4.5m at NNE; int. H 0.2m) and an external fosse (Wth of base 1.5m) visible as a band of rushes or lush vegetation. It is slightly truncated by a NW-SE field bank at SW but the perimeter can be traced as a low rise in the field to the SW. An entrance (Wth of base 2.4m) at NNW could be original.
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.
