Located on a low rise on the SW-facing slope of a drumlin overlooking the NW-SE section of the River Shannon between Lough Tap to the NW and Lough Boderg to the SE. This is an overgrown circular earthen platform (int. diam. 37m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by a slight earthen bank (at E: int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.4m), with traces of a fosse SE-SW. The original entrance is not identified. 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 23 September 2008 Amended: 6 January 2020
