The National Monuments Service's description
In a cashel (SL021-022001-). A central slightly raised roughly rectangular area (10m N-S; 9.5m E-W) partially defined at NE by a rough kerb of boulders and at SE by a low scarp (H 0.4m) faced with stone. Within the raised area moss-covered stones roughly define the sides of a possible souterrain (SL021-022002-).
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).
