Located at the crest of the E-facing slope of a N-S drumlin ridge towards the S end. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (diam. 36.4m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by a slight fosse (Wth of top 3.6 6.2m; int. D 0.2-0.4m) NE-S-NW which peters out elsewhere, and an outer overgrown earthen bank (Wth 2.5-3m; int. H 0.6-1m; ext. H 0.8-1.4m), which is incorporated into a field bank S-NW. There are entrances, probably modern, through the outer bank at NW (Wth 4m) and E (Wth 2.5m), the latter now blocked. Although there is no clear evidence of an inner bank, it is probably a rath.
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.
