In undulating pasture, near the base of a gentle SE-facing slope. A raised circular area (28m N-S) defined SE-NW by an earthen bank (Wth 4.2m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 1.3m), with traces of internal stone revetment, and by a scarp elsewhere. The bank is incorporated into a field boundary SW-NW. There is a possible entrance (Wth 2m) at SE and a gap (Wth 5m) at NNW. From NNE-SE, outside the scarp, is a trench (Wth 4m; D 0.8m) with upcast on its external side, apparently of recent origin. The interior is grass-covered and slopes slightly down to SE.
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).
