The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a S-facing slope, on the southern slopes of the Ox Mountains. A circular area (25m E-W) terraced into the hillslope, with the W half up to 0.7m below and the E half up to 1.2m above the external ground level. The interior is defined by a drystone wall (Wth 3m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 0.5m) SW-NE and by a drystone field boundary (int. H 0.8m; ext. H 2m) NE-SE, apparently on the line of the original wall. The interior is level and partially overgrown with bushes and briars. A rath (SL036-027----) lies c. 50m to NE and a cashel (SL036-025----) c. 170m to N. The townland boundary between Carrownlobaun and Kincuillew lies immediately to the S of the cashel.
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).
