The National Monuments Service's description
At the top of the S-facing slope of a ridge. A D-shaped area (diam. 20m E-W) enclosed by the low remains of an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.7m) SW-SE and by a linear natural scarp (H c. 2m) on the S side; large stone slabs line the top of the scarp. The interior slopes down to S and there is a crescent-shaped raised terrace (H 1m) in the N half. A level semicircular terrace (Wth 9m N-S) abuts the base of the natural scarp on the S side, the edge delimited by large stone slabs. A cashel (SL021-064001-) lies c. 50m to NE.
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).
