The National Monuments Service's description
On a SE facing slope, on the shore of Lough Arrow. Indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as an oval enclosure (50m NW-SE x 40m NE-SW) defined by a hauchured band N-SE and by the shoreline elsewhere. The area is under mature coniferous forest and the enclosure was not located. It still survives intact as is evident from an OSi aerial photograph flown in 2000 (E. Byrnes pers com.).
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). In this instance the entry has been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
