The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on flat low-lying wet ground. A rectangular area (c. 13.7m N-S; 18m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.7m) on the N, E and S sides and abutting a field boundary on its W side. Modern drains abut the scarp at E and S. Indicated as a circular raised area (diam. c. 40m) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map and as a D-shaped raised area on the E side of a field boundary on the 1910-11 OS 6-inch map.
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).
