The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a low rise. A raised oval area (27.5m NW-SE; 30.9m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.1m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1m) apart for a short section at N which is defined by a scarp. The bank is low internally NW-NE. There is a gap (Wth 7.2m) in the bank at NE. The interior slopes gently down from the centre towards the N and NW. There is a sod-covered field clearance cairn (diam. 2m; H 0.3m) in the interior close to the gap. There is a limekiln (SL025-065001-) c. 40m 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).
