The National Monuments Service's description
In wet pasture, near the base of an E-facing ridge and on the SW side of a field boundary. A raised roughly circular area (int. diam. 16.8m) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.65m; int. H 0.5m). A silt-filled external fosse (Wth 2.2m; D 1.2m) is evident along the E arc. The bank is covered with hazel trees. The interior is waterlogged and overgrown with brambles.
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).
