The National Monuments Service's description
In rough undulating pasture, on a low rise at the base of a NE-facing slope. A raised circular area (diam. 22m) defined by the low remains of an earthen bank (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1m) along the N and NE arcs and by a scarp (H 1.8m) elsewhere. There are remains of stone facing along the scarp at W.
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).
