The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture, at the S end of a drumlin. A circular area (int. diam. 22.5m N-S) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.1m). There is a gap (Wth 3m) in the bank at S. A field boundary skirts the bank along the N arc. The interior slopes down to E; the S portion is raised c. 2m to compensate somewhat for the hillslope.
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).
