The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a N-facing slope overlooking Ballysadare Bay. An ancient field boundary wall extends SSW from a large glacial erratic (2.3m square), named the 'Giant's Rock', for c. 100m and can also be traced to NE for c. 15m. The boundary is represented by intermittent boulders, the tops of which rise above the surface of the bog. (pers. comm. E. Cody)
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).
