The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a gentle NE-facing slope. A grass-covered circular pit (2.2m E-W; 1.7m N-S; D 0.6m), much of the interior of which is occupied by a large limestone boulder (1.1m x 0.6m; H 0.5m) embedded in the base of the pit on the N side. There is a rath (SL032-075----) in the adjoining field c. 10m to SSE and an enclosure (SL032-076----) c. 15m to E 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).
