The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on the S-facing slope of a ridge. A raised circular area (c. 36m N-S) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.7m) S-N and by a scarp (H 1.8m) elsewhere. A dry flat-bottomed external fosse (Wth 4.2m; D 1m) is evident SSE-N. The interior is bisected by a N-S field boundary. There is a hut site (SL032-022002-) situated off-centre to NW. A disused farmhouse and outbuilding are to NE.
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).
