The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a gentle SSE-facing slope and c. 40m W of a cashel (SL025-083----). A slightly raised circular area (8.2m E-W; 8.8m N-S) defined by a sod-covered bank of earth and stone. The bank (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.5m) bulges outwards at NW. There is a gap (Wth 2m) in the bank at S. The interior slopes gently down to S. A field-clearance cairn abuts the internal face of the bank at NW.
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).
