The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on the N-facing slope of a rise. A raised oval area (26m N-S; 31m E-W) enclosed by a flat-topped gapped earthen bank (Wth c. 2m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.6m). An external dry flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 4.7m; D 0.4m) is evident N-NE. The interior is level. There is a lane immediately to S and a field boundary immediately to W. A small section of the bank has been dug into at E.
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).
