On a very slight rise in an expanse of flat poorly drained pasture. The ground slopes down gently to E towards the Owenmore River. A slightly raised circular platform (23.8m NE-SW; c. 20m NW-SE) defined by a broadly sloping scarp (H 1.2m; Wth slope 4.7m) with traces of an internal lip. A shallow external fosse (Wth 4-5m), marked by soft wet ground and a dense growth of rushes, is evident all round while the outer bank (Wth c. 5m) survives SW-NW as a broad low rise. The outer edge of the fosse is poorly defined and S-SW merges imperceptibly with the very boggy surrounding ground. The top of the platform is level. A bowl-barrow (SL026-125----) lies c. 100m to ENE.
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).
