The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pastureland, located at the W end of a natural ridge overlooking Sligo Bay. An aerial photograph (OS 1 3303-4, Roll 158, Pr. 30) reveals the outline of fragmentary field boundaries, on roughly E−W and NNE−SSW axes, and cultivation ridges (SL014-007003-), on a roughly E−W axis, which extend over an area of c. 240m N−S by c. 130m E−W. No remains were evident at ground level when the location was inspection in 2004.
