In undulating pasture, on top of a hill at the break of slope. Indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map as a mound. The remains consist of a low roughly circular ill-defined rise (diam. c. 12m) into which a semicircular quarry pit (diam. 7m; D 1.4m) has been dug. A low rim (Wth c. 2m; H 0.55m) on the perimeter of the quarry NW-N may be the result of upcast material. The size and location of this monument suggest a barrow.
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).
