The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating rough pasture, on the gentle N-facing slope of a ridge. A circular area (diam. 22m N-S), defined by a heavily eroded earth and stone bank (Wth 1.4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.4m) SE-NW and by a scarp (H 1m) NW-NE. In places along the SW and W arcs, only the internal and external stone revetment of the bank survives. A linear field boundary on a N-S axis crosses the E half of the interior. The N portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope.
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).
