In rocky pasture, on a slight rise 7m S of a stream. A circular flat-topped mound (diam. at base c. 7m, at top 5m; max. H 1.2m) with a stone kerb (H 0.5m) evident SW-N. The mound is highest NE-SE where it merges with a natural break in slope but is low (H 0.5m) elsewhere. On the flat top of the mound are two roughly parallel lines of stones (long axes NW-SE), c. 2m apart. The NE line consists of two contiguous slabs (NW stone L 1.4m; Wth 0.24m; H 0.1m, SE stone L 0.95m; Wth 0.12m; H 0.15m). The SW line consists of one prominent stone (L 1m; Wth 0.12m; H 0.4m) at the NW end and at least five smaller barely discernible stones. A hawthorn tree grows on the perimeter of the mound at S.
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).
