The National Monuments Service's description
In elevated pasture, on the summit of a ridge with excellent views in all directions. A circular raised area (diam. 7.4m) defined by an earthen bank (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.5m). An external fosse (D 0.4m) is evident NNE-NNW; the fosse is truncated at N by an oval flat-bottomed pond-like depression (12m N-S; 10m E-W) which lies 2m from the base of the bank. The depression is defined by a scarp (H 1.1m) and is waterlogged with some peat growth at its centre. This may be a ritual feature associated with the barrow. Traces of a low external bank (Wth 1.5m; H 0.25m) around the barrow, noted during a previous site inspection in 1993 (SMR (1989) file), are no longer visible.
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).
