The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on the W-facing slope of a ridge. A roughly circular area (29m N-S; 33.2m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.4m). A dry flat-bottomed external fosse (Wth 4.4m; D 0.2m) survives NE-NW. There are numerous cattle gaps in the bank. The W portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope though there is still a slope down to the W. There are two souterrain openings (SL032-161002-) in 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).
