The National Monuments Service's description
In stony pasture. A slightly raised circular area (44.2m N-S; 45m E-W) defined by a fosse (Wth 4.4m; D 0.25m) with an external earth and stone bank (Wth 5.5m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1m). The interior rises very slightly at the centre and is crossed by a field boundary on the NW-SE axis. There is some overgrowth on the bank and fosse at E and SE.
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).
