The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, at the N end of a low ridge and in the N corner of a field. The slightly raised remains of a circular area (diam. c. 20m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 6.5m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.4m) E-SW. Elsewhere the bank has been replaced by linear field boundaries which form the N corner of the field. There is a souterrain (SL034-119002-) in the N half of the interior, just inside the field boundaries. There are mature beech trees in interior and the perimeter is overgrown with hawthorn bushes.
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).
