In pasture, bordered on the SE side by a road. A roughly trapezoidal-shaped area (18.5m E-W; 10.5m N-S at W end, 4.7m at E end) defined by a scarp (H 0.6m) except on the SE side where it is fringed by the roadside field boundary. The entire platform is grass-covered and though stones protrude randomly from the scarp, no masonry or wall structure is apparent. Its surface is generally level but uneven. On the N side, the scarp drops 0.4m down to a low triangular terrace (5.5m N-S; c. 4-5m E-W), the N corner of which incorporates a sod-covered cairn of loose stones (diam. c. 3m; H 1.2m). Embedded in the terrace is a saint's stone known as 'St Fechin's Bed' (SL026-011002-). There is a holy well (SL026-010----) c. 200m to the N.
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).
