In level poorly drained pasture. A slightly raised circular area (36.4m N-S; 37.6m E-W) enclosed by two earthen banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 5.4m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.65m) is low and eroded internally but with a broad external slope. The possible entrance (Wth 2m) is at NE, lined with two contiguous stones on the N side. The fosse (Wth 3m) is evident S-SE. The outer bank (Wth 4.7m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.7m) is best evident SW-N, partially levelled N-SE and levelled SE-SW. The interior is slightly raised in the centre and towards the S and is poached by cattle and covered in rushes. A field boundary and drain lie immediately to N and a drain immediately to S.
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).
