Located towards the bottom of the W-facing slope of a drumlin, with a small N-S canalised stream c. 30m to the W. This is a grass-covered circular earthen platform (diam. 32.7m E-W; 33.3m N-S; H 1.2-1.7m) with slight traces of a bank visible N-E and SW-W, but it is defined principally by an overgrown fosse (Wth of top 6.6-8.1m; Wth of base 2.7-4m; int. D 1.2m at S to 1.7m at S; ext. D 0.7m at W to 1.6m generally) and an overgrown flat-topped external bank (Wth of base 7.5-9.9m; Wth of top 4.3-4.9m; ext. H 1-1.3m). There are traces of a second outer fosse NNW-NNE (Wth 3m) and SE-SW (Wth 5m; D 0.4m) (max. ext. diam. 69m N-S). There is a gap (Wth of base 2m) in the outer bank at WNW and another (Wth of base 5m) in the outer bank at SE. The latter with a rough causeway is probably the original entrance but it has been widened.
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.
