The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture, on a low rise. A roughly circular area (6.9m N-S; 6.1m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.2m). The bank is revetted by large stones on its inner face S-N. There is a break in the bank at NNE where a slight external scarp is evident. The opening to a souterrain (SL032-019001-) is in the SE quadrant of the hut and another souterrain (SL032-018----) lies 30m to the N.
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).
