The National Monuments Service's description
On a level terrace, on a steep S-facing slope broken by rock outcrops and engulfed in a dense hazel and blackthorn wood. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m). A subcircular area (diam. c. 20m) is now defined N-E by a collapsed wall and SE-S by a roughly constructed drystone wall (Wth 0.5m; H 0.5-0.7m) similar to field boundary walls in the vicinity. The collapsed wall survives as a broad low jumble of stones (Wth 2-2.5m; H 0.5m). The wall SE-S coincides with the break of slope at the edge of the terrace. The W half of the enclosure could not be inspected due to impenetrable overgrowth.
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).
