The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, near the top of a SE-facing slope. A circular steep-sided mound (diam. 15.6m) 2.1m high above the base of the fosse along the N arc and 1.85m high above it along the S arc, giving a stepped appearance. The base of the mound is enclosed all round by a fosse (Wth 5.2m) and along the S and W arcs by an external bank (Wth 3.9m; int. H 0.75m to base of fosse; ext. H 0.25m). The bank is incorporated into a field boundary along the N arc. The mound is 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).
