Situated in a low-lying position with a S-N section of the River Shannon c. 100m to the E. This feature is not depicted on any OS map, but it is visible as a circular feature (diam. c. 35m N-S) on aerial photographs (ACAP: V43/11280-1) and some later series (OSAP: 1995; 2017; Google Earth 01/03/2110; 24/03/2017). It is a circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 35m N-S) defined by a slight fosse (Wth 1.5m). It is overlain by a N-S field bank W of the centre, and in 1991 (SMR file) it was best preserved W of this feature as a grass-covered D-shaped platform (dims. c. 25m N-S; c. 13m E-W) defined by a slight fosse (Wth 1.5m). The entrance was not identified, and by 1995 a house had been built partly on its NW quadrant (OSAP).
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.
