The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture, on a low rise c. 40m N of the Owenbeg River. A slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 36m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.4m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 0.85m) N-NE and by a scarp (H 1.2m) NE-SE. The enclosing element is levelled SE-N and evident only as a slight rise or differential vegetation pattern. A field boundary skirts the scarp. A small stone-built shed abuts the scarp at SE. The interior is grass-covered.
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).
