Located on a shelf towards the bottom of the SW-facing slope of a drumlin, and it is overlooking a col with a low drumlin c. 300m to the W. This is a grass and rush-covered D-shaped platform (dims 26m NW-SE; 26m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (H 0.5m at NE to 1m at SW) and a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of base 2-3m; ext. D 0.3-0.5m) NNE-S-NW, with slight traces of an external earthen bank (Wth of base 5.5m; H 0.3-0.5m) SSE-WNW. The original entrance is not identified, and the platform is truncated by a NE-SW field drain and bank at NW (L 17m). A N-S field bank that had slightly clipped the fosse at E had been removed by 1999.
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.
