In poorly drained pasture, on a ridge. A raised circular area (int. diam. c. 30m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and an external fosse. The bank is highest along the N arc (Wth 8.4m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 2.8m), lower and more slumped (ext. H 1.8m) along the S arc. A possible entrance (Wth 2m) is at E with a possible causeway across the fosse, both densely covered with overgrowth. The fosse (Wth 3.6m; D 0.8m) is evident all round. On either side of the possible entrance a semicircular area (c. 10m x 15m) has been quarried out of the bank and the interior. The perimeter is densely covered with overgrowth and the interior to a lesser extent.
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).
