Located at the bottom of the E-facing slope of a drumlin with a canalised SSE-NNW stream immediately to the E. This is a raised and grass-covered circular platform (diam. 30.2m E-W; 28.4m N-S; H 1.5m) with some trees defined by the lip of a bank (int. H 0.1-0.2m), a fosse (Wth of top 5.7-7.6m; Wth of base 2-3m; ext. D 0.7-1m) and an outer earthen bank (Wth of base 3-4.6m; 3m W - N to 8m at S; ext. H 0.7-1m), with slight traces of a second outer fosse at N. A gap in the outer bank at NW may be recent, and the original entrance is not identified. The outer bank at S is incorporated into a NE-SW field bank.
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.
