The National Monuments Service's description
On the edge of a high W-facing scarp. An oval area (int. diam. 13.5m x 16.3m) enclosed by a low earthen bank (Wth 1.9m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.3m). The entrance (Wth 3.5m) is at N. An external fosse (Wth 0.8m; D 0.5m) is evident for c. 6m along the S arc. Soil erosion has exposed a limestone pavement at the centre. Support for an electricity pole is erected in the fosse at N.
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).
