Situated on a S-facing slope. A circular enclosure is depicted lightly on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map and it is visible as a circular feature on aerial photographs (OSAP 4/1028-9). This is a grass-covered circular platform (int. diam. 27m E-W; 25.6m N-S) defined by an eroded earthen bank best preserved at E: (Wth of base 10m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.6m) and with an entrance at E. The W edge is incorporated into the townland boundary with Treanmore. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J.
