In pasture, on top of a low E-facing slope. A raised circular area (36.5m N-S; 36.7m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank and an external fosse. The bank (Wth 5.6m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 3m) is incorporated into a field boundary system S-NNW. There is a gap (Wth 3.8m) at E adjacent to which the bank is low and degraded for c. 6m. The fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.3m) is evident SW-NW, elsewhere the line of the fosse is marked by a band of rushes and soft ground (Wth 4m) apart from at E where there are no visible remains of it. The interior slopes slightly down from the centre to E. Part of the external slope of the bank along the S arc and the area immediately outside the bank have been disturbed by shallow quarrying.
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).
