The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture, on top of a low rise. A roughly circular area (int. diam. c. 33m N-S; c. 30m E-W) raised 0.5-2m above the external ground level. The interior is enclosed in parts by the remains of a drystone wall (Wth c. 1.5-2m; max. int. H 0.5m). A house and farmyard have been built into the N edge of the interior and an orchard has been planted on the E half of the interior. There is a possible souterrain (SL036-057002-) in the interior.
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).
