In pasture, on an upland terrace on the lower NE-facing slopes of Kesh Corann hill. A slightly raised roughly circular area (20m N-S; 19.3m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank NNW-SSW. A straight N-S field boundary with a field drain on its E side slightly truncates the W edge of the interior. The bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.85m) is compact with an inverted V-shaped profile. There are several low or eroded sections and there is a gap (Wth 2m) at SE. Traces of cultivation ridges are evident in the N half of the interior. There is a barrow (SL040-003001-) 2m to S and a rath (SL040-004----) c. 40m to 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).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL040-003002
