The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on the steep lower S-facing slope of a ridge. The levelled bank of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 18m) is visible as a differential growth pattern in an aerial photograph (IASAP, 3033162-3). It is not visible at ground level. A field boundary which incorporated the NE quadrant of the enclosure and extended to the N is also visible in the aerial photograph as a differential growth pattern.
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).
