Situated on top of a drumlin. This is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) constrained by a N-S field bank at W and a NW-SE field bank at S on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘Fort’. It is represented as an equally constrained hachured feature on the 1945 revision. This was barely visible in 1991 (SMR file) as a grass and rush-covered circular area (diam. c. 40m) defined by a band of thin vegetation on the site of the bank at N and E and by levelled hedgerows at S and W.
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.
