What is recorded here
In pasture, on top of a ridge. A raised circular area (14m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.1m) N-SW and by a scarp SW-N. Traces of an upright stone revetment are visible in places along the internal bank face. A ramped gap at SW is possibly recent. A number of large stones are visible in the interior which is crossed by a field boundary (on a NW-SE axis).
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).
