The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a low rise. A D-shaped area (21.6m N-S; 19.3m E-W) defined by the remains of a low gapped earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 1.1m) to NE, S and SW and by a scarp elsewhere (H 0.9m). The W side is linear giving a D-shaped appearance. A quarry has cut away a large portion of the N half of 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).
