Situated on the SE-facing slope of a low hill. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (int. diam. 29m E-W; 28m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 1.1m) W-N which is reduced to a scarp elsewhere, with an external fosse (Wth 1.6m, D 0.5m). 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 16 October 2019
