The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope. A circular area (diam. 24.5m) enclosed by the remains of a stone wall (Wth 1.1m; H 0.4m) NW-W and by a stone field boundary W-NW. The N half of the interior is raised c. 0.3m to compensate for the hillslope. Foundations of a linear stone wall (6.8m N-S; Wth 0.4m) are visible inside the perimeter on the E side. There is a souterrain (SL038-048002-) in the centre of 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).
