The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture, at the base of a SSE-facing slope. A raised roughly circular area (diam. 14m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.75m) NW-WSW. The scarp has been removed WSW-NW due to quarrying which also encroaches into the interior for a distance of c. 4m. A small heap of quarry debris has been dumped to N of the quarry pit against the scarp at NW. An earth and stone field boundary abuts the base of the scarp along the E arc. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth.
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).
