The National Monuments Service's description
In rough rocky ground on top of a low steep-sided spur. An oval area (int. diam. 20.7m E-W; 15.7m N-S) defined by the remains of a stone wall evident mostly as a low grass-covered stone spread (Wth 1.8m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.3m). At W, a 3m stretch of wall (Wth 0.65m) has inner and outer facing intact. There is a disused field boundary on top of the collapsed wall SE-SW. The interior is level.
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).
