The National Monuments Service's description
On top of a prominent hillock in hilly terrain at the foot of the Ox Mountains. An oval level area (33.4m E-W; 25.9m N-S), formed by levelling the top of the hillock, is enclosed by fragmentary remains of a drystone wall. Some very large stones and boulders are incorporated into the wall. From WSW-WNW the wall has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. A number of quarry holes (long disused) have been dug into the hillock a short distance to E.
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).
