In pasture, near the base of a N-facing slope; the ground rises steeply to S and slopes down gently to N. A slightly raised roughly circular area (26.5m N-S; 24.6m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.4m) on the S upslope side and by a scarp (H 1.4m) with a slight internal lip (H 0.1m) NW-NE. The entrance (Wth 2m) is at NE, now somewhat eroded by animals; some eroded gaps occur in the bank at E and W also. The interior slopes gently down to N even though the N portion has been raised to compensate for the hillslope.
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).
