The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on the W face of a sloping shelf. An oval area (int. diam. 20.5m x 16m) enclosed by a sod-covered stone wall (T 1.6m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1m) along the S arc and by a narrower wall (T 0.6m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 0.9m) along the N arc. An external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.4m) is evident along the S arc. The interior slopes slightly and has a concave profile. A NE-SW field boundary bisects the interior.
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).
