The National Monuments Service's description
On a level expanse of blanket bog on a plateau in the Ox Mountains, overlooked to SE by Tullaghan Hill. A semicircular flat area (6m N-S; 7.5m E-W) defined S-N by an arc of a heather-covered wall (Wth 3.6m; H 0.5-0.8m), consisting of loose stones, with broadly slumped sides. There are no visible remains of any enclosing element N-S. There is a break (Wth 2m) in the S 'arm' of the arc. The interior is only marginally drier than the surrounding boggy ground.
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).
