In pasture, on a low rise, in the corner of a field. A raised oval area (47m N-S; 41m E-W) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 5.5m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.8m) S-NE and by a scarp elsewhere. An external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 6m) survives S-NW. An outer earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.2m) is evident S-W. A field boundary skirts the bank and scarp NE-SSE. Some quarrying has occurred at N and 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).
