The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying, undulating pasture. A circular area (diam. 21m E-W) enclosed by the heavily eroded remains of an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.5m) W-NE. A modern house and a garden wall are built across the curve of the bank on the E arc and an E-W trackway cuts across the curve of the bank on the S arc. The faint curve of the bank is evident SW-W. The SE half of the interior is heavily disturbed.
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).
