The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture, near the top of a S-facing slope. A circular area (int. diam. 29m) enclosed by an earthen bank and an external fosse. A flat-topped and steep-sided bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 1.2m) drops 2.1m to the base of the fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.8m). The entrance (1.2m) is in the S arc with a causeway across the fosse. The interior slopes down slightly to S. Recorded in 1836 as 'Lismalula' (OSNB vol. 2, 73).
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).
