The National Monuments Service's description
In marshy ground, on a slight rise on a NE-facing slope. A roughly circular area (diam. 25.2m N-S; 26.2m E-W) enclosed by two stone-faced earthen banks with an intervening fosse and faint traces of an outer fosse. The stone-faced inner bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.45m) and intervening fosse (Wth 3.5m) are evident all round. The stone-faced outer bank (Wth 3.4m; ext. H 0.3m) is evident SW-S with a wide gap to N and a possible outer fosse SW-SE. There is a possible entrance at E. The banks are overgrown.
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).
