In pasture, on a gentle W-facing slope. A slightly raised circular area (30.5m N-S; 28m E-W) enclosed by two banks and an intervening fosse (Wth 2.6m). The inner bank is broad, low and stony (Wth 7.8m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.3m) and within it is a slightly higher rim (Wth 3.8m) outside of which c. 4m of the stony spread slopes gradually down to the fosse. The outer earthen bank (Wth 2.7m; int. H 0.95m; ext. H 0.5m) has a rounded profile with stones protruding from the sod on both the internal and external faces and is evident all round apart from a levelled section (L 15m) at N. The interior is level; over half of it is occupied by an internal enclosure (SL025-089003-). There is a souterrain (SL025-089002-) in the NW quadrant. A disused railway line lies c. 70m to E. A rath (SL025-090001-) lies c. 150m to SSW.
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).
