The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture, at a break of slope on the N side of a low E-W ridge. A slightly raised circular area (diam. 23m) defined by the remains of an earthen bank (ext. H 2m), which is almost levelled internally. There is a gap (Wth 2m) at NE. There is an external terrace (Wth 3m; H 1m) at the base of the bank NW-NE. The interior is grass-covered and mostly level but slopes gently down from the centre towards NE. The interior is bisected E-W by a field boundary and a drain.
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).
