The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture. A low oval mound of heat-shattered stones and dark soil (c. 15m NW-SE; c. 10m NE-SW) with a central rise (c. 6m NW-SE; 4-5m NE-SW; H c. 0.4m). In contrast to the surrounding field, the mound is covered with lush grass and devoid of rushes. A levelled fulacht fia (SL047-093----) lies c. 40m to NW.
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).
