The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a SW-facing slope. A raised oval area (50m NE-SW; 45m NW-SE) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.4m) SSW-NNW, by a field boundary NNW-NNE and by a scarp (H 1.4m) NNE-SSW. The scarp is topped by an earthen bank in parts. The inner face of the bank is revetted in places by stone. The interior slopes gently down to SW.
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).
