The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating rocky pasture, in the Ballinafad valley between the Curlew and Bricklieve Mountains. A circular flat-topped mound of earth and stone (diam. 14m; max. H 1.5m), the E part of which is crossed by a stone field boundary. Sand extracted from the mound in several places led to the discovery of a pit-burial (SL040-155002-) in 1962 and a short cist (SL040-155003-) in 1970.
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).
