The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a slight SE-facing slope. A slightly raised roughly circular area (48m N-S; 52m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.15m) ENE-SE and by a low discontinuous scarp elsewhere. Where the bank survives, the interior has been slightly raised to compensate for the hillslope. The interior is undulating and clear of overgrowth. The 'Red' Earl's Road (SL033-147----) is c. 20m to S.
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).
