The National Monuments Service's description
On the crest of a low rise, at the SW side of Kesh Corann Hill. Described in 1995 (pers. comm. M. Keane and J. Farrelly) as having a flat interior enclosed by a broad earthen bank (Wth 5.8m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.8m) with a gentle external slope and a steep internal slope. The overall diameter was 14m NW-SE. A gap (Wth 1.8m) was noted at E. Some stone retaining the internal face of the bank and the planting of trees may indicate re-use as a landscape feature. (Farrelly and Keane 2002, 98)
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).
