Located at the S end of a slight NE-SW ridge in a low-lying position c. 70m from the S shore of Headford Lough. This is a grass-covered circular earthen platform (diam. 32.6m NW-SE; 32.3m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (H 1.2m at SW to 1.7m at NW), which has a hedge and is incorporated into a field bank SE-W-NW. The perimeter is formed by traces of a fosse (Wth of top 5m; max. D 0.3m) across the ridge NE-SE but it cannot be distinguished NW-NE. The scarp is separated by a berm (at SW: Wth 3m) from a scrub-covered outer bank (at SW: Wth of base 5m; max. int. H 0.6m; max. ext. H 0.6m) SE-W-NW. 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.
