Located in improved pasture with regenerated rushes regenerated just below the crest of the N-facing slope of an E-W drumlin ridge. The N-S River Shannon loops eastwards from it c. 600m-1.2km distant N-E-SSE, and it overlooks Carrick-on-Shannon to the N. It was first identified by Susan Curran as part of an M.A. thesis with University College Dublin using a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the National Roads Authority. This is a circular grass and rush-covered area (diam. 19m E-W; 18m N-S) defined by a low scarp (at E: Wth 1.7m; H 0.15m), which is best preserved SE-SW but is barely traceable NW-NE (downslope). There is no visible entrance but there are slight traces of a fosse at SE and an E-W drain abuts the scarp at S. Rath (RO011-180----) is c. 80m to the WSW and rath (RO011-182----) is c. 170m to the E.
