Marked only on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a small circular feature (diam. c. 20m). Situated at the W edge of a low shelf with a W-E section of River Shannon c. 100m to the N, it is now planted with mature coniferous trees within a forest. It is a circular area (diam. 27.2m E-W; 26.7m N-S) defined by a slight bank at N (Wth 3m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.7m) and S (Wth 4m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.7m), with traces of a fosse (Wth of base 1.7-2m) SE-SSW, and by a scarp (H 0.7-1m) elsewhere. The probable entrance (Wth of base 1.8m) is at SE.

On a gentle SE-facing slope in a loop of the River Shannon which is c. 550m to the SW and c. 330m to the NE. Circular overgrown area which remains unplanted in a coniferous forest (diam. c. 50m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5-6m; int. H 0.4-1m; ext. H 1.4-2m). There is no recognisable fosse or entrance.

Situated on a slight rise on the W bank of a N-S section of the River Shannon with the stream immediately to the E. It was first identified by S. 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 now a D-shaped area that remained unplanted within a coniferous forest but is now covered in mixed woodland. It is a D-shaped area (dims 37m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.3-5.1m; int. H 0.2-0.3m; ext. H 1.5-1.6m) SSE-W-N with E-W scarps (H c. 1-1.5m) at N and S that extend to the river bank. There is an outer fosse (Wth of top 6.4-6.7m; Wth of base 2-2.7m; ext. D 0.4-0.5m) SW-N. The W part of the interior is level but the E part slopes down to the river bank and was probably damaged at some time. There is a wide, modern entrance at NW but the probable original entrance (Wth of base 2.2m) at SSE may have been widened.
