The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, at the end of a low ridge and with a good view of two standing stones (SL044-057----; SL044-058----) c. 600m to SSE. A five-sided mound of earth and stone (7.3m N-S; 8.2m E-W; H 1-1.5m). The mound was probably originally circular and its present shape may be due to erosion. Its size and location suggest a barrow. The top of the mound is uneven and slopes down from W to E. It is partially overgrown with bushes.
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).
