The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on the S-facing slope of a low rise. A raised oval area (int. diam. 31m SW-NE; 24.7m SE-NW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.7m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.8m) NW-NE and by a scarp NE-SW. The bank is topped by a field boundary SE-NW. An external fosse (Wth 4m) is barely discernible NW-NE; a road curves around the line of the fosse SW-NW. The interior slopes down to SE.
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).
