The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, at a break of a NE-facing slope of a ridge. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) and on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as a triangular enclosure bounded on the NW side by a field boundary. Now levelled; evident only as a very slightly raised roughly oval area (c. 21m NE-SW; c. 15m NW-SE) merging at NW with the field boundary. Visible as a cropmark of a levelled oval enclosure in an aerial photograph (CUCAP, AVJ 15) taken in 1967. A rath (SL025-125----) lies c. 30m to W.
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).
