Located on the crest towards the S end of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is an overgrown circular area (int. diam. c. 34m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 8-10m; int. H 1.2-1.5m; ext. H 2.5-3m) and an external fosse (Wth of top c. 5-7.5m; Wth of base 1.5-3m; ext. D 1-1.5m). There is an entrance at N, and an outer bank (Wth of base 3.6m; ext. H 0.8m) survives NW-N (Max. ext. diam. c. 65m E-W). A NE-SW farm lane at NW turns SE and removes the outer edge of the fosse S-NW, and an old laneway circumscribes the outer edge of the fosse NE-S.
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.
