The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, just off the summit and on a N-facing slope of a low ridge. The remains of a slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 20m) straddling a NW-SE field boundary and drain. An arc of raised area (Wth 5m) defined by a scarp (H 1m) remains on NE side of the field boundary; slight traces of a low arc (Wth 17.5m) are evident on the SW side of the field boundary with a slight hollow (Wth 3m) to SW.
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).
