What is recorded here
In pasture, on top of a ridge. A raised roughly circular area (29.3m N-S; 33m E-W) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.8m) W-E and by a scarp elsewhere. An external fosse (Wth 4.5m; D 0.3m) survives all round, except along the NNE arc where a field boundary truncates the line of the fosse. Where the scarp exists the interior slopes down gently from the edge towards the centre for c. 4-5m.
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).
