The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture, on the NW side of a low rise. A slightly raised roughly oval area (16m N-S; 23m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.45m) SE-N and by a scarp N-NNE. The bank and a portion of the interior have been quarried away NNE-E and the bank is truncated by a linear earth and stone field boundary E-SE. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth. There is a hut site (SL033-114002-) in the NW quadrant and another (SL033-114003-) immediately E of centre. There is a steep natural NW-facing slope immediately outside the bank along the NW arc.
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).
