The National Monuments Service's description
In level rocky wet pasture. A slightly raised roughly circular area (16m E-W; 20m N-S) defined by the remains of an earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.6m) along the W arc and by a scarp elsewhere. The external fosse (Wth 2m) is best preserved along the W arc.
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).
