The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on the top of a ridge and close to a S-facing slope. A slightly raised roughly oval area (31.5m E-W; min. 26.8m N-S) defined W-NW by a slight rise, NNW-E by a low bank (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.35m) and E-SE by a barely discernible rise which is clearly visible in an aerial photograph (ACAP, V227, 54-5). There are no visible remains of any enclosing element SE-W. The interior is bisected on an E-W axis by a field boundary with a drain on its S side.
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).
