The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating rocky pasture, on a slight N-facing slope. A roughly circular earth and stone mound (diam. 4.5m at top; H 1.1m) surrounded by a fosse (Wth 2.8m) NW-SSE. The outer edge of the fosse is defined by an earth and stone bank (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.3m) NW-N and ENE-SE and by a scarp N-ENE; it is levelled elsewhere. At S, a small portion of the mound has been dug away. Moss-covered stones are strewn across the barrow which is dry and clear of overgrowth. A barrow (SL034-207002-) lies c. 30m to SW.
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).
