The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying rough pasture, c. 50m SW of the Douglas River. Although levelled, a slight rise is visible in the area of the enclosure on the W side of a NE-SW field boundary. Indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as a small pentagonal enclosure (c. 30m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW) with the ESE-facing side formed by a NE-SW field boundary.
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).
