The National Monuments Service's description
On top of a ridge and c. 100m ESE of Bloomfield House. A raised circular area (diam. 23.5m) enclosed by two low earthen banks and intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 4.6m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.5m) and fosse (Wth 2m) are evident all round. The outer bank (Wth 7m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 0.4m) survives E-NW. A possible entrance occurs through the inner bank at E. There is a large deep quarry hole adjacent to the outer bank, immediately to SW.
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).
