The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture, on a low ridge in the S corner of a field. A raised circular area (diam. 24m) defined by remains of an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1m) WNW-N and by a scarp (H 1.4m) N-SE. The NE arc is partially removed by quarrying. Field boundaries (on NE-SW and NW-SE axes) have been built on top of the bank along the SW and SE arcs. The bank and part of the S half of the interior are covered with overgrowth. A possible barrow (SL034-005----) lies c. 50m 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).
