The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a rounded hillock overlooking the mouth of the Ballysadare River. The hillock forms the northern extremity of a larger undulating hill to S of which the church and graveyard (SL020-109001-, SL020-109002-) are located. An oval raised area, indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map, is evident as a barely discernible sod-covered stony rise (Wth 0.5-1m) SW-NE. It is most clearly defined NW-N where the external scarp (H 0.5-0.8m) incorporates large stones at intervals. It appears to continue NE-E but due to dense blackthorn scrub it is impossible to confirm this. A quarry pit (8m N-S; 6.6m E-W; D 1.6m) has obliterated the S half of the enclosure. The extant remains suggest that the dimensions of the original oval enclosure were c. 20m N-S by 15m E-W.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
