The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying pasture, on a slight rise. A raised circular area (diam. c. 20m) defined by a scarp (H 1.5m) with a slight trace of an enclosing bank along the N arc. A possible hut site (SL034-192002-), noted by Prof. R. A. S. Macalister (SMR (1989) file) in the interior, was not found as the E portion and the interior are now densely overgrown. Field clearance stones are dumped in the N half of the interior.
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).
