The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a slight SE-facing slope. A raised oval area (33m N-S; 38m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.15m) NNW-NE, SE-S and SSW-W and by a scarp elsewhere. At NE the bank turns outwards towards a 6m long free-standing section of earthen bank (H 0.8m; Wth top 0.6m; Wth base 2.20m) immediately outside the interior. This may be the remains of a field boundary or part of a levelled annexe. The interior is dry and clear of overgrowth and slopes gently down to SE. Part of the NE quadrant is divided from the rest of the interior by a curved length of earth and stone bank (NW-SE).
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).
