Located on a gentle S-facing slope with the SW-NE River Shannon c. 150m to the S. It was first identified by S. Curran as part of an M.A. Thesis with University College Dublin using a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the NRA. This is a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 58.6m N-S; c. 58m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (at N: Wth 5.1m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.5m) and outer fosse (at N: Wth of top 7m; Wth of base 2.5m; D 0.1m) NW-NNE and a scarp (H 0.3m SE-SSW, but the perimeter is barely traceable SSW-NW. It is curtailed by a NNW-SSE field bank (L 62m) at E. A NW-SE field bank that is marked on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map has been removed in the past leaving a scar, and the perimeter is not realy traceable W of this feature. There is no identifiable entrance. The bank is not very defensible, and it is possible that the enclosure was a tree-ring.
