The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a slight ENE-facing slope. A roughly circular area (16m N-S; 16.5m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.55m) NNE-SW and elsewhere by a slight scarp. There is rock outcrop (Wth 2m; H 1.5m) immediately inside the bank at NNE. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth and raised to compensate for the hillslope.
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).
