In pasture, on top of a narrow ridge, c. 100m NE of Killoran North Lough and overlooking a church (SL025-112001-) and graveyard (SL025-112002-) c. 150m to S. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area but now levelled. It is evident as a raised roughly circular area (32.4m NW-SE; c. 35m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (H 0.7m) which is highest along the SE arc (H 2m) where the ground falls away steeply to E and S from the perimeter. The SE portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. A WNW-ESE field boundary crosses the interior just N of centre.
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).
