The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a S-facing slope near the top of a ridge. A slightly raised roughly circular area (int. diam. 25.2m N-S; 28.9m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.3m). An external fosse (D 0.4m), evident along the N arc, appears to have been recut as a drain. The interior is level and the eroded inner face of the bank gives it a concave profile.
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).
