Located on top of a low drumlin with a shore of Lough Corry on the River Shannon c. 135m to the NW at the closest point. This is a grass-covered circular platform (diam. 36.5m N-S) defined by a slight scarp (H 0.25m), which is overlain by a field wall and hedge NW-NE, and there are traces of an external fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.1m). 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
