In pasture, on the S-facing slope of a ridge. A roughly circular area (31m N-S; 27.7m E-W) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.8m) E-N and by a scarp elsewhere. An external dry flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 5.7m; D 0.3m) is evident all round, with a short section of an outer earthen bank (ext. H 0.6m) along the SE arc. A field boundary respects the edge of the fosse SW-E. The interior slopes gently down to SE and the S portion is raised to compensate for the hillslope. There is a souterrain (SL032-095002-) in the W half of the interior. A lane is indicated skirting the S arc on the 1838 OS 6-inch map.
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).
