In pasture, at a break of slope on the E-facing side of a ridge. A raised circular area (int. diam. 26.5m NE-SW) enclosed by two earthen banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 1.9m), with traces of internal stone kerbing, is evident all round apart from a short section (L c. 5m) at E which is levelled. The entrance (Wth 2m) is at SSW, with traces of possible stone facing on its E side. The outer bank (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 0.65m) and intervening fosse (Wth 3m) are evident only S-W. The interior is level and there is a souterrain (SL025-057002-) in the N half. A house has been built immediately to NE and a disused railway line lies 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).
