What is recorded here
Situated on a low rise in undulating pasture close to the S shore of Sligo Bay. This site has been levelled. Remains comprise a slightly raised circular area (diam. 20m) defined by an artificial scarp (H 0.1m - 0.5m) except at SW where the defining element is a naturally-occurring rise which has been scarped (H 1.5m). At the upper edge of the scarp at SE are the remains of a low bank of earth and stone (Wth. 2m; int. H 0.2m - 0.4m). Elsewhere this has been levelled. No fosse. Original entrance not recognisable.
