The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on top of a low ridge. A raised circular area (diam. 24m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.2m) along the E and S arcs and by a scarp (H 1m) along the W and N arcs. Some stones along the base of the internal face of the bank may be the remains of kerbstones. An external fosse (Wth 2m) is evident as a shallow depression with a thick growth of irises.
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).
