The National Monuments Service's description
See linked document with details from Seán Ó Nualláin, Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland. Volume V. County Sligo. (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1989)
The monument was inspected in 2014. This area was replanted with conifers c. 2001-2. All of the stones identified by Ó Nualláin remain in situ though the right-angled 'base of wall' depicted on his plan (Fig. 16) in the probable court area is no longer visible.
