The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on top and towards the W end of the level summit of a ridge. An almost conical mound (diam. 14m at base, 1.4m at top; H 2.5m). Two small now disused quarry pits are dug into the base of the mound, one at NW and the other at NE. The sides of the mound have been eroded by livestock NE-SE and as a result some loose rocks have fallen from it. There are now no visible remains of the stone setting (Wth 0.7m; H 0.5m) close to the base of the mound at SE which was noted by M. Keane and J. Farrelly (pers. comm.).
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).
