In pasture, on a low N-facing slope. A roughly circular flat-topped earthen platform (diam. c. 25m; H 1.5m at S; H 2.6m at N) engulfed in a dense thicket of blackthorn bushes. There is much tumbled stone on the sloping sides of the platform which is partially obscured at E and S-SW by mounds of field clearance rubble banked up against it. A ruinous field wall on a roughly N-S axis crosses the W half of the interior, intersecting at S with another field wall extending E-W across the S edge of the interior. Known locally as a 'grave' (pers. comm. W. Forbes). A cashel (SL021-022001-) lies c. 80m to NNW.
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).
