The National Monuments Service's description
In rough mountain terrain, on a NNW-facing slope. Views are limited by higher ground, except SSE-SW. Indicated as an embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map and as an oval enclosure (c. 30m N-S; c. 20m E-W) on the 1913 OS 6-inch map. The area is now covered by scrub up to 2m high and access was not possible.
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).
