In rough pasture, on the W bank of the Ballysadare River. An oval area (22m E-W; 18m N-S) defined by a low scarp (int. H c. 0.5m) along the E and N arcs and by an overgrown earthen bank (ext. H c. 1m; int. 0.45m) along the W and S arcs. Clearly visible as a subrectangular enclosure in an aerial photograph (CUCAP, ASX 65) taken in 1967. Within and possibly part of the ecclesiastical enclosure (SL020-109005-) surrounding the church (SL020-109001-) and graveyard (SL020-109002-) which lie immediately to NW. A linear feature of 'stone construction' immediately to SE of the enclosure extends for 30m in a SW direction towards the road boundary wall (Keeley 1998, 5) and is also visible in the aerial photograph. A second oval enclosure (SL020-109014-) lies immediately S of the linear feature.
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).
