The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on level ground. A roughly oval area (45.2m N-S; 38m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.8m) along the N and S arcs and by a scarp elsewhere. Remains of a shallow dry external fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.1m) are evident along the SW arc. Numerous gaps occur in the bank. A D-shaped platform (H 0.4m) revetted in parts by stone and with a hut site (SL032-106002-) on its S side, abuts the W arc of the interior. There is a souterrain (SL032-106003-) in the NW quadrant 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).
