The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a low rise on the lower SE-facing slope of a ridge. A raised circular area (24m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.1m) SE-NNW and by a bank topped with a hedgerow and incorporated into a field boundary NNW-SE. An external fosse (Wth 5.6m: D 0.4m) is evident along the NW arc. A low earthen bank, kinked midway along its length, crosses the interior on a roughly NW-SE axis.
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).
