The National Monuments Service's description
In rolling pasture, near the top of an E-facing slope at the base of the Bricklieve Mountains. An oval flat-topped hillock (max. H 1.9m) on which several trees have been planted. A wall which marks the townland boundary between Cloghoge Lower and Carrowkeel forms the SE perimeter. Some sod-covered stones at N and the remains of a wall (T 2.1m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.6m) at W may indicate the remains of an enclosing element. The interior is sloping and uneven. A holy well (SL040-031----) lies c. 10m to NE and two possible fulachtaí fia (SL040-030002-; SL040-030003-) c. 50m to S.
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).
