The National Monuments Service's description
In poorly drained pasture, on a low rise. An elongated oval mound (40m E-W; 16m N-S; H 0.8m), densely covered with overgrowth, on top of which is a smaller raised platform (c. 15m E-W; 6m N-S; H 1m) with some large stones on the S and E sides, possibly the result of field clearance. There is a quarry hollow (c. 3m x 5m; D c. 1.2m) in the SE end of the mound.
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).
