The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a SE-facing slope of a ridge. The enclosure is not visible at ground level and appears to have been destroyed by quarrying. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular grove of trees abutting a line of trees along a field boundary. On the 1914 OS 6-inch map it is indicated as a hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 10m). There is a circular enclosure (SL032-144----) c. 50m to N in the same field.
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).
