The National Monuments Service's description
On top of a hill, in a mature coniferous forest. A raised oval area (c. 25m NW-SE; 20m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.9m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1.5m) with a low internal rim. The bank is incorporated into a field boundary NW-SE and faced with stone. There is a break (Wth c. 2m) in the bank at S. Trees have been planted to within in a few metres of the perimeter, making access and inspection difficult. The interior, though not planted with trees, is choked with an impenetrable thicket of blackthorn bushes and brambles.
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).
