The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on the NW-facing slope of a ridge with the ground sloping off immediately to N and S. A raised D-shaped area (24m NE-SW; 22m NW-SE), enclosed by the remains of an earthen bank (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.1m) SSE-NE and by a linear NE-SW field boundary on the straight SE side. The bank at N is relatively straight and was once incorporated into the field boundary system. The interior is level.
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).
