The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on the S-facing slope of a ridge. An oval area (int. diam. 51m x 43m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.75m; ext. H 1.4m). The bank is heavily eroded, but survives in parts along the S, W and E arcs. There is a shallow external fosse (Wth 3m) along the E arc. The S portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope.
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).
