The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, occupying a rocky bluff at the N end of a low narrow ridge. The roughly rectangular end of the bluff (28m N-S; 17m E-W) is defined to E, N and W by steep slopes topped by low field boundary walls, and to S by a scarp (H c. 1m) which slopes irregularly down to S. The site of Castle Douglas (SL027-124001-) is c. 8m to S.
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).
