Situated in a low-lying area. A ‘Danish Fort’ is depicted on an estate map (Wogan 1750, 27), and on later OS 6-inch maps. This is an overgrown circular area (int. diam. c. 24m N-S; c. 22m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (at S: Wth of base 7.9m; Wth of top 1.5m; int. H 1.6m; ext. H 2m) with slight traces of an external fosse (at S: Wth of top 4m; Wth of base 1m; ext. D 0.5m). The original entrance is not identified, and the monument is bisected by an ENE-WSW 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.
