The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on top of a low rise. A circular mound (7m NE-SW; 7.4m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (H 0.6m) kerbed with sod-covered upright stones. The kerbstones are mostly contiguous or close-set, though there are some gaps and a few project slightly above the level of the mound. The top of the mound is slightly sunken. Conjoined at NE is another mound (SL040-149002-). The junction of the two mounds is barely perceptible and is marked by two kerbstones which barely project above the sod. The S and SE edges of both barrows are obscured by 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).
