The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture, utilising a low E-W elevation with a fairly steep slope down to N and a more gentle fall of ground to S. An oval flat-topped platform (21.7m N-S; 31m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1.35m). A possible entrance (Wth 6m) is at SE. Cut into the scarp at N is a roughly semicircular feature (4m E-W; 3m N-S) with a slightly sunken interior, which is filled with stones and defined at E and W by low sod-covered stone banks (H 0.2m).
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).
