The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a gentle N-facing slope at the foot of the Ox Mountains. A small irregular enclosure (diam. c. 20m), with a possible entrance at NE, is visible in an aerial photograph (GSIAP, G 327-8) in the N half of a triangular field. It is not visible at ground level. All surrounding field boundaries have been removed. Possible enclosures (SL020-160002-; SL020-160003-) c. 50m to SSE and c. 170m to SSW respectively.
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).
