The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a SE-facing slope. A circular platform (int. diam. 26m; H c. 2m) defined on top by traces of an earthen bank and at the base by a fosse. The bank is levelled along the E and S arcs and barely perceptible elsewhere. The fosse (Wth 5m) is straight-sided and best evident along the N arc. The fosse has been recently infilled along the NE arc. There is a causeway (Wth 4m) across fosse at SE. Some quarrying was noted in the S half of the interior.
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).
