In pasture, on top of a ridge. A slightly raised roughly circular area (c. 27.5m N-S; c. 29.5m E-W) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 1m) SSW- ESE and by a scarp elsewhere. An external dry flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 6m; D 1m) with a counterscarp bank (Wth 3m; ext. H 0.6m) is evident all round except at SE, where the bank was probably levelled and the fosse infilled to provide access to the interior for farm machinery. The interior is planted with coniferous trees. There is a souterrain (SL031-009002-) in the NW quadrant.
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).
