The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on the SW side of a low rise. A slightly raised rectangular area (21.6m NE-SW; 38m NW-SE) defined by a fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.3m) on the N and E sides. Along the S and W sides, the line of the fosse is evident only as a band of thistles (Wth 2m). A slight rise (Wth 2m) evident in the interior, 2m from the edge of the fosse at NW and SW, may be the remains of an enclosing bank. Field boundaries indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map abutting the enclosure at NW, S and E, have been removed.
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).
