The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture, at the W end of a low ridge bordering the NE side of Sligo Bay. An aerial photograph (OS 1 3303-4, Roll 158, Pr. 30) records ridge and furrow cultivation marks, on an E−W axis, and fragmentary field boundaries (SL014-007002-) covering 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.
