The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a low rise near the W shore of Lough Arrow. A slightly raised circular area (diam. 16m) enclosed by an eroded earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.8m) along the S, W and N arcs and by a scarp along the E arc. The remains of internal and external stone kerbing were noted in places along the bank. The interior is level. There is a pile of loose field clearance stones in the SE quadrant.
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).
