The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope and on the N side of a stream. A raised circular area (int. diam. 22.6m N-S; 20m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank, except along the N and S arcs where it is defined by a scarp (H 2.5m). An intervening fosse (D 0.3m) is evident all round and an outer bank (Wth 2.8m; ext. H 1.2m) is evident along the S and W arcs. The inner bank is best preserved at NE with the remains of stone facing on the internal face. There is an entrance (Wth 2m) at NE with a causeway across the fosse. The interior is level.
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).
