On a peninsula of dry pasture jutting out into bogland. A raised oval area (c. 30m N-S; 24.5m E-W) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 3.9m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.5m) with an intervening flat-bottomed dry fosse (Wth 5.3m). The outer earthen bank (Wth 2.7m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.5m) is evident SE-NNE and has been modified and incorporated into the field boundary system along the E arc. There are numerous gaps in the inner bank. 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).
