The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, at the top of the NW-facing slope of a ridge. The enclosure is levelled and evident only as a faint rise along the N arc (C 13m). Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a small circular enclosure (diam. c. 18m) cut at SE by a linear NE-SW field boundary which has also been levelled.
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).
