The National Monuments Service's description
In boggy pasture, on the E bank of a stream and c. 10m NE of a possible fulacht fia (SL026-174001-). An irregular grass-covered spread of heat-shattered stones (c. 10m NE-SW) defined S-WSW by a scarp (H 0.8m) and elsewhere merging with the surrounding ground level. The spread is marked by a distinct vegetation cover of short grass.
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).
