Located towards the top of a S-facing slope. A circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) is depicted on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘Fort’, and it is depicted as small field on the 1945 revision. This is a circular earthen platform (diam. c. 30m) defined by a scarp which is best preserved E-S (H. 0.5-1m). The monument was landscaped as a lawn in 1991 (SMR) but had been truncated into the D-shaped SE quadrant of a rath by 2000 (OSAP). Rath (LE031-070----) is c. 100m to the 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.
