The National Monuments Service's description
On top of a rise. A raised oval area (39m N-S; 48m E-W) enclosed by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.3m) SE-N with numerous breaks. A 3m wide strip of boggy ground on the external side of the bank along the W arc may indicate a silted-up fosse. The interior is level. Farm buildings lie immediately to N.
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).
