The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a S-facing slope. A circular area (int. diam. 21m) divided by a N-S stone field boundary just off-centre to W. The interior is defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1m) to E and by a scarp to W of the field boundary. The E half of the interior is planted with trees. A quarry pit (L 30m; Wth 10m) immediately to S has encroached on a small boulder-faced annexe noted during a previous inspection in 1986 (SMR (1989) file).
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).
