The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a slight terrace near the base of a N-facing slope, c. 100m S of Lough Bo. A slightly raised circular area (22m N-S; 20m E-W) enclosed by a heavily eroded earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.3m) SE-NE and defined NE-SE by a N-S stream gully (Wth 6m; D c. 4m). An E-W field boundary, adjacent to bank at S, and another (on a N-S axis), indicated adjacent to the bank at W on the 1914 OS 6-inch map, have been levelled.
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).
