The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on an E-facing slope. A circular flat-topped area (8.4m NW-SE) defined by a fosse (Wth 3.1m) and an external bank (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.35m). There is a break in the bank at E with a corresponding causeway across the fosse. The edge of the interior, the fosse and the bank have been quarried into at S. Two possible barrows (SL032-183----; SL032-184----) lie c. 250m to NE.
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).
