In undulating pasture, on the S side of and just below the top of a ridge. A raised circular area (29.4m E-W; 30.4m N-S) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 4.3m; int. H 1.25m; ext. H 2.1m) and an external fosse. The bank is low (H 0.3m) internally along on the S and E arcs and at W has been cut vertically leaving a berm (Wth 1.6m) between it and the fosse. The fosse (Wth 3m; D 1m) is well defined SW-NE where it is bordered externally by a field boundary but E-S is evident only as slight depression marked by a dense growth of irises. The interior slopes down to SE. A raised area (6m N-S; 8m E-W; H 0.4m) was noted in the NW quadrant against the bank at NW and a depression (2.5m N-S; 8m E-W; D 0.6m) was noted in the S half of the interior.
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).
