The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying poorly drained pasture, at the base of a rocky ridge. A small pool of water (6m E-W; 4m N-S) incorporated into a narrower linear drain. A stone-lined channel extends for a short distance to W of the pool but was dry at the time of inspection.
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).
