In undulating pasture, near the foot of the Ox Mountains. The enclosure is levelled and not visible at ground level. Adjacent field boundaries also removed. Indicated on the 1913 OS 6-inch map as a roughly oval enclosure (c. 40m N-S; c. 35m E-W) bordered on the W and N by a trackway. Visible as an upstanding pentagonal enclosure in an aerial photograph (ACAP, V 197/160-1) with the SSW, SSE, W and E-facing sides linear and the N side slightly curved.
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).
