The National Monuments Service's description
On a S-facing slope, overlooking Lough Gara. An oval area (int. diam. 22.5m N-S; 28m E-W) enclosed by a collapsed drystone wall. The wall (T 3.75m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.5m) is mostly sod-covered, the SE and SW sections are partly rebuilt as field boundaries. The foundation layer of the outer edge of the wall is evident in parts along the SW arc. The interior is level.
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).
