In low-lying marshy ground, with a stream to N and E. There are a number of earthworks in close proximity consisting of a rectangular platform (10.7m NE-SW; 7m NW-SE; H 0.2m above ground level) enclosed by a fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.4m) and 8m to the E a rectangular depression (7.4m N-S; 6m E-W; D 1.5m) with a linear fosse extending N from it. A short distance to the N of these earthworks is a linear NW-SE fosse which can be traced for c. 50m before stopping short of the stream to E. A second fosse (L c. 50m), which expands at its W end into a circular depression (diam. c. 8m), lies c. 40m to S.
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).
