The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a low ridge. A slightly raised circular area (int. diam. 27m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 8.5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.7m) and an external fosse. Traces of stone kerbing occur on the inner face of the bank. The fosse (D 1.1m), shallow along SW arc, has rushes growing in it. Numerous gaps occur in the bank, the largest (Wth 3.6m) of which is at SW with a possible ramp extending into the fosse. A field boundary skirts the fosse along the E and SE arcs.
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).
