On level ground, on the SW-facing slopes of Muckelty Hill. A raised D-shaped area (dims. 21m NW-SE; 22m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (H 0.5m). An external flat-bottomed boggy fosse (Wth 3.6m; D 0.4m) is evident all round except along the SE arc. The enclosure is densely overgrown with blackthorn bushes. A rectangular field with an adjacent building is indicated here on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. 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).
