The National Monuments Service's description

In level pasture, at the break of a NW-facing slope. A circular area (diam. 2m) defined by a fosse and external earthen bank. The fosse (Wth c. 1.3m) is visible only as an area of soft ground inside the bank. The surface of the interior is even and grass-covered and level with the external ground level. The bank (Wth 4.2m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.40m) is evident all around but is broken at SW and NW where it is crossed by a N-S field boundary.

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).
