Not marked as an antiquity on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Small, approximately triangular-shaped promontory (30m NW-SE; 27.5m NE-SW) extending in a NW direction into Sligo Bay. The SW, NW and NE sides are defined by sea rocks. The promontory is cut off from the surrounding land at SE by a low bank (Wth 2.5m; H 0.3-0.6m) of earth and stone which appears to be a relatively modern, although now-disused, field boundary. The promontory is marked 'Lackavarna' on the OS 1913 ed. of the 6-inch map. Within the same townland, 60m to SE there is a second possible promontory fort (SL012-007----). (Casey M. 1988, pers. comm.)
